It's Sunday night. All the kids are in bed. Christmas was two days ago, but with tomorrow being the first day back to work, it seems like Christmas is finally ending today. It was a great Christmas. We spent three great days with my parents, and I think everyone got what they wanted. Jack commented specifically
that he thought this was a much better Christmas than last year (meaning he was much happier with the gifts he got this year than last year!) The gift that has gotten the most play so far, by far, is Jack's Chaos Tower, followed closely by Elliot's Make Your Own Soda Kit. But, if I had to pick a
theme for this year's Christmas, it would probably be the Bruins. The boys picked out all Bruins themed presents for Ted, and got several themselves. Mattie found a toy Zamboni in his stocking. Elliot got a Bruins' blanket. The boys spent lots of time cuddling with Grammy on the couch under it. We also dubbed Elliot "Super Bruin" after he wore the blanket clipped on him like a cape for a while. And the cutest Christmas memory definitely came from Mattie. He spent all of Christmas day running around the room claiming presents as his own every 
time he found an "up-down, up-down" on a box. "Up-down, up-down" is what he calls M's, as he learned to draw them that way. He found M's on just about every present that was opened. 
Theo spent the day happily among his family, enjoying the wrapping paper and general mess on the floor. We didn't leave the house for 2 1/2 days. It felt like Christmas during that whole time. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday with your family too. I'm already counting the days until next year!
