This picture of my daughter says a lot about the past several days.  This was shortly after the kids opened gifts as part of a party with our extended family.  While we open most of our gifts on Christmas day, the kids open gifts from aunts and uncles (mostly "grand" at this point) and cousins on Christmas Eve.  Our son never slowed down, but our daughter fell asleep in my chair while playing with her new horse and snow globe.

We've had several days that were similar, with my wife and I falling asleep later, after long days of work.  In addition to crossing several "honey-do" items of the list, we have entertained the in-laws, attended several Christmas parties, and hosted a few of our own.  And here it is, nearly 8 a.m. on Christmas, and the house is divided down the middle, by age.  The oldest three are sitting at the table eating (with one blogging), while the youngest three are fast asleep.  That the two kids are still sleeping is a good indication of how truly tired they are.

True to the season, no sooner did I type the above paragraph then I heard the rattling of dishes in the living room.  A two-year old girl had found her way out of bed and into Santa presents.

And that will end any attempt at a longer post.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
