My Merry Christmas!
Ssshhhh....
The babies are napping, and justly so. Everyone woke up at a normal hour this year.
I figure this is probably the last year that we will get so very lucky!!!
We were up 'til three in the morning chatting with our friends on the living room floor in front of our fireplace, wrapping presents and all.
We finally gave up when we ran out of diaper boxes big enough to fit everything into, so we opted to put a few wrapped presents into the bin part of the boy's dump trucks and call it a night.
This morning, the babies went into overload almost from the moment they were brought into the living room.
Kian had his lower lip out all through out his breakfast, trying to eat and whimper at the same time because he wanted to go and check out his new stuff.
Kaiden laid claim to the tricycle almost immediately, and figured out that since he was too short to use the pedals, that he could just sit behind the seat and use his feet to make it go.
If anyone comes near it or looks at it longingly, he will run up to them and try and divert them away from HIS tricycle (even though it's for everyone!)
Vivienne is on overload as well. She adores her new ruby slippers, and made Bregon adorn her pretty piddy's with them almost immediately.
She then set to work mommying her new dolly that calls her, "Mama" and really cries and giggles.
Poor Vivie is a bit overwhelmed, though. She went around the living room, collecting everyones dolls (the boys have boy ones too) and each time she would shrug her shoulders, pick them up, and pat them on the back to comfort them.
Then she would try and find a place for them in either her new cradle, high chair, or the stroller. When she ran out of baby room, she started sighing each time she found another baby to take care of.
I can only imagine what is going through her head over the many orphaned babies that have taken up residence in our living room!
Currently, the babies are all asleep in their little beds, exhausted from all of the excitement.
Soon, it will all start back up again, and we will run over to my father's to have a late lunch and say, "Merry Christmas."

Mimi is the mother of four: a 12 1/2-year-old boy and 1-year-old triplets (two boys and one girl). She is very happily busy taking care of everyone, whether it's the triplets' multiple doctor appointments, attempting a shopping excursion or volunteering to plan her son's school renaissance festival.
