After a long day :)

We have had a wonderful, peaceful (well, as peaceful as our house can get) Christmas day. We hope you had an enjoyable day as well. The kids did better this year at understanding the true meaning of the day...a mark that they are truly growing up. Andrew liked the kids new toys almost as much as they did :)...(and I have to admit...I had a bit of fun playing with Ava's multilingual doll). James's highlight of the day was playing star wars with his brothers. Joshua's highlight was the bow and arrow he recieved (yes we are regretting it...no one is safe from the suction cup!). Jory's highlight was the bakugan ball in his stocking...you have to be nine or four to understand :). Ava's highlight by far was her pop up castle..."Come in my castle please" was requested about a million times today. Thank you to everyone for the lovely gifts. We miss seeing you all this year, although it is nice not to have to travel...or pack! Merry Christmas!
