Back to work

Our second Christmas with the kids is passed and it went pretty well. They had a lot of fun opening presents, especially Nicole. I foresee Daniel will be just as excited next year, when he'll be a little older. The most amazing thing is seeing how much Nicole believes in Santa Claus. Amazing. Her eyes lit up when she saw the stockings full to the top, the missing cookies and milk, and then... she saw the tree!! Daniel was pretty much just following her, but given his energy level, I think next year he'll probably overtake her in the presents-opening race. Anyway, we went to Grandma for Christmas dinner and everything went ok. The only sad thing was seeing how tired Grandpa looks and how hard it is for him to get around now. I hope he'll get better soon. His birthday, as Nicole pointed out, is the next one up! Santa was very generous not just with the kids, but with all of us, although the kids definitely got the lion share of presents, as it should be. Anyway, I'm currently enjoying both my mug warmer and my foot rest, so... thank you Santa ;) PS: the magnet is the sweetest thing ever. Thanks.
