Christmas 2006
Lily was very excited about Christmas this year. She went to see Santa twice and told him that she wanted:
1. A blue toy (whatever that is)
2. A baby bed (for her dolls)
3. A Penguin
4. A CD (of baby music)
There were NO penguins to be had anywhere in town (stupid Happy Feet movie). Amanda searched everywhere. Then she gave me the idea to try the zoo (nice save, mom!) Lily and I went to the zoo to see the penguins, and while she was preoccupied with looking at things in the gift shop, I picked up 3 stuffed penguins. They even had a slight fishy smell that lasted for a day! yum. Anyway…
Lily was obsessed with the fireplace and that ‘clause’ was coming ‘down der’ . She insisted that we open it again and again. She had it all planned out.. she kept telling me all day: “Clause down der, cookies, milk, presents - under tree, baby bed, wake up me!!” (somehow she had it in her head that Santa was going to wake her up.. I don’t know where she got that..) Anyway, right before bedtime, we left cookies and milk and made sure the chimney was open. That was the very first thing she checked (as you can see by the video.. she blasted right past her presents to check the fireplace!)
She had a good Christmas.. A kitchen set, a blackboard/white board easel, penguins, a baby bed, books, puzzles, videos, weebles village, a giant playhouse, slippers, and other things. I’ll have some more videos posted on my YouTube site after I sort through them. I’ll also have some pictures posted to my photo galleries sometime today…
I hope everyone has a great new year!
