Christmas Day 2006...Whew...We Got Through It!

2006 Christmas Tree ready
for the early morning opening.

Ridiculous! But since I've no
one to blame but myself, I
can't say to much about the
multitude of stuff!

Kenneth and I got to bed
around midnight. At 3:30
Emily came into our room.
She and Michael had been
given strict instructions not
to go out into the living room.
I told her to get into bed and
to go back to sleep. She got into
bed but laid there fidgeting for
about 45 minutes. Finally I told
her to go to her room and stay
there. I told her she could play
all she wanted but that we were
not getting up yet. As she was
climbing over the babygate (we
still use this to keep the dogs in
at night) she slipped. She didn't
get hurt, but got stuck and started
crying. I let her get back in our
bed and this time she went back to
sleep. Around 7:00 she woke up
again. This time I turned on the
Disney channel and let her watch
tv. Soon Michael showed up and
finally around 8:30 we got up
I thought that was pretty good.
I know I never let my parents
sleep in til 8:30!

The kids were a little
excited at this point.

Look what Santa brought!
His and her matching
Mustangs. He must have
known that this family is
all about the Mustang!

Emily found a letter
on the tree and is
reading it to her little
brother. They found
out they got tickets to
go see the Broadway
show of "Cats".

They were very excited!

Daddy got Michael a guitar.
I foresee some lessons in
the future.

One very happy Emily.
She had a great Christmas!
