Adventures at The Bunny Manse

Madeline woke up, stretched, yawned...and then I saw her eyes dilate. The realization that it was Christmas morning washed over her! She ran through the hallway and looked over the banister. MOMMY! There is tree wrapping paper! there wasn't tree paper last night! SANTA HAS BEEN HERE! We all went downstairs and marveled at the tree and presents. Harris got me both champagne and coffee for the morning's adventure. A majority of Madeline's presents are still necessities. This year, it included a rain coat and rain boots that will last her 2-3 years, new pajamas, tights, rubber bands for her hair, and a pair of tennis shoes. She also received a couple of new lego sets, a build a fort kit, playdoh, thrift store dresses, and an American girl doll she has named Julie. Margot received a couple of toys, a classic stacker, shape sorter, and push elephant. One day this year she will be old enough to play with them.

This day was made for caroling and improved by matching pajamas.

Our little girls!

Madeline literally lost a tooth yesterday. Her story "I was holding my backpack with my mouth - not the whole backpack just the top - then got to my class and swallowed my spit and it tasted funny and then Mrs. L asked if I had lost a tooth." Where was this all "In the carrider entrance before I got to my classroom. It wasn't even loose!" The tooth fairy was very kind and found the tooth at her school and left her a paper dollar under her pillow.

Overheard in line at the Farmer's Market this weekend. Person 1: So you're buying a house? Person 2: Yeah, we figured it's cheaper than renting. Plus we can do whatever we want to it! Oh cute, naive, little snugglebunny. I just want to eat you up! Lemme guess. In year 1 you might paint a room over the builder colors and change a bathroom towel bar. You will also plant bushes in the yard and make a small gardening patch.
