Feliz Navidad everybody! Hope you and your families all had wonderful mornings with gift-giving and getting. At our house Megan was a whirling dervish of fingernails and attitude. It was amazing to watch her at work.
On one hand I was so excited to see her truly experience Christmas with a modicum of understanding and to see the glint in her eye as she opened her gifts. However, on the other, this day definitely brought out the selfishness in her too. It was to be expected, she doesn't know better, so amidst this exciting day we also had to create teachable moments and make sure she knew we had to allow other people to open their gifts as well. It was hard for her but she did manage some restraint.
Overall, we had a great Christmas ... on our agenda next year is to push the Christian storyline a little more when she can understand it ... and potentially edit down the number of gifts. Somehow we went a bit overboard this year. But I got caught up in the season. I suppose there are worse things.
