Holly Jolly Christmas

It's two days after Christmas and we're still feeling the jollies around the Haines household. We had such a wonderful Christmas. There were LOTS of presents for Sydney and we video taped her opening each one. She actually played with her toys instead of the wrapping. After a fun morning, we attempted going to see the new Sherlock Homes movie, but it was too crowded. We ended up seeing A Christmas Carol instead. A bit of a disappointment but festive nonetheless. Syd was great. It was her first time at the theater. Nursing sure helped a lot. We finished our day having Chinese food at a restaurant and headed home to watch the last showing of A Christmas Story after putting Syd to sleep. She truly seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did.

I can't imagine another Christmas will be as sweet as this one.
