Christmas Time
Dec. 27th, 2004 09:52 amWell, Yamaarashi-chan was heading over to her mother's on Thursday, so we decided to have an early opening of gifts. That was quite fun. The girls got all sorts of things, mostly toys and chalk and crayons and more play clothes. They were great.
Friday came and went in a flurry of shopping and driving. I don't even remember much of what happened that day. Saturday, Christmas day, we opened Kouryou-chan's last gifts: a kid's cookbook and a bicycle. She was thrilled with the bicycle. It's a purply thing which is just barely small enough for her. Then Omaha and I let her make breakfast. She needed a lot of help-- hey, she's only five-- but we made banana pancakes, which were quite yummy.
For dinner, Omaha and I had a flash-frozen potroast dinner that her grandparents had sent us. It was remarkably good, despite the fact that everything is revived by ten minutes of simmering.
I wish I had more to say. But I'm not good with holidays.
