Yes, I know it’s the middle of April. And I know my web presence is non-existent – did you miss me?
2010 has proved so far to be the busiest year yet, and I’m finally feeling like we are catching up from Maine and the holidays, pathetic, I know!
I didn’t want to forget our 2009 Christmas, it takes the cake for my favorite. We spent Christmas Eve with Andrew’s family, a breakfast at Anne’s in the morning with yummy waffles and the most delicious parfait, and that night we unconventionally went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner and had those who could make it over to our house afterwards to just hang out. I really loved that. After everyone left, I stayed up way too late getting last minute gifts wrapped and making sure all the final details were ready for Christmas day.
Christmas morning we got up and went downstairs to see what Santa had brought. It was so exciting to see Madeleine all excited, and she totally cracked me up when she saw her new toys laid out she thought she had to pick one (she picked the polly-pocket-like Snow White dress-up dolls) and declared, “I want, this one!”. No silly girl, these are all for you! We let her play for a little bit than we packed up and went to my parents’ house, which this year we were so fortunate because the whole family was there!
Madeleine was having a blast. She got to where she started to open presents like it was a process. She would unwrap a gift (throwing away all paper as she tore), say how much she loved the gift, then would run give it to daddy and then demand the next one! I was totally tickled when she was opening this one gift, held in a Macy’s garment box, as soon as she tore through the wrapping paper and saw the Macy’s logo she said, “Thank you sooooo much for my present!” – ha ha ha! like all she got was a Macy’s box, it ended up being even better a new princess dress to wear.
We ate a typical ginormous breakfast, snacked on leftovers for the rest of the day and got totally worn out playing on the new Wii. So embarrassing, by the next day I could hardly lift my arm from doing some serious sword fighting!
I didn’t want Christmas to end, but luckily, it’s now only 8 months away!

What a fun day!!! Too bad it couldn't last longer.
Seeing your post and remembering the holiday brought a smile to my face.
First of all, Madeleine had more loot than some 3rd world country's entire population! It looks like even more now that I see the pictures.
Second of all, as fun as it was to play the Wii, the best part of the whole holiday was having the whole family together. It will go down in history as one of my all-time favorites.
Wow this is old. Ah well, good to see you are still in the blogging world. Looks like a great christmas.
Looks like a good time. Maddie has a great mommy!
