I really should just say we had Christmas at our house and it was great. I should say that, but I won't. I think Kinley summed it up pretty well when shortly after her sprint to the Christmas tree she exclaimed, "this is the best Christmas ever!" Experiencing Christmas with Kinley helped me to remember the excitement and magic of Christmas. I remember being a kid and sleeping in the same room as my older brother and sister. We would set alarm clocks for like 3 o'clock in the morning and race down to see what Santa had left for us. What geeks, right? I almost felt like a kid again this year watching Kinley, she was so excited about everything and it helped me to more fully appreciate this great holiday season.
This year we asked Santa to just bring Kinley 3 presents to help us remember that the Wise Men brought 3 presents to baby Jesus. Kinley actually wanted about 800 presents, but she was very excited to see her stash under the tree. Kinley asked Santa for a Little Einstein's computer, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and "the ball popper game". She was also dying to get a doctor's kit. Lucky for her, Santa was able to locate all of the items she wanted and her parents didn't do too shabby either.
Here is Kinley testing out her doctor's kit with her daddy. Daddy makes an excellent doctor, but Kinley is showing real potential. I always end up diagnosed with "a bad heart and yucky cough".
Milo was so overcome with excitement that he slept for nearly the entire day. I guess he's just a real scrooge. He didn't even enjoy the stocking Santa left for him. Maybe next year he'll catch some of Kinley's spirit, we all know she has plenty of spirit.

That looks fun. We are thinking about doing it at our house next year; seeing family is nice, but I think it would be fun to be at home, too.
