Merry Christmas everybody. I received an interesting gift this year, the gift of a glimpse into my future. I got to see what Christmas's for the next few years will entail. At first it was awe.. then disbelief, then frantic screaming, laughing, then yells of "Mine!", "Mommy, shes touching my toy!", and my favorite, "NOOOOOO!" So again I repeat, I have seen my future. My mother promises that this too will pass, that as they grow older they will understand more and be less likely to interfere with each others toys. I am not so sure, having the same sex kids has produced unforeseen problems. They both gravitate to similar toys, I think we will have many more Christmas's with this same problem. (Jim misses out on all the fun..)
That being said, it was fun for the kids. We video taped them coming into the room for the first time for daddy. There is about a minute of nothing (other than commentary if you can hear it) where there was a misscommunication with when we were coming down the stairs. Oh well. its still fun.
Carmens big gift was a tea table and accessories. Rosemarys big one was a rocking lion. Both were under-impressed but eventually warmed up to the whole idea. After a while (and a time out in her room) Carmen even shared her tea set with Rose. Now THAT is Christmas for me...

Climbing in her box... well the box the lion came in, its the simple things...

Chillin in the box, what a cutie!
Sitting like good sisters do, chatting over tea and cake.
