Merry Christmas!

I was just looking at some of the photos from Laurna's first week of life, and it's hard to believe she was ever that small!

Back to the main topic at hand, though...

We've just finished our second Christmas as a three-person family. Laurna was much more interested in the goings-on this year, and had a lot of fun investigating her new gifts and, of course, ripping off the paper. We ended up spacing out her gift-opening over the course of the day, because once she opened a new toy she wanted to play with it. It was a great way to keep her occupied, actually - as soon as she started losing interest, it was time to open another gift!

We went out for Chinese on Christmas Eve, which was quite nice and different for us. Christmas Day was the typical whirlwind of food and family - I was happy but dead on my feet by the end of the day, and barely made it into bed before crashing at 8:45 PM.

I think the tree is going to stand proudly on our dining room table for another week at least. It's such a cheery sight.
