Christmas 2010

If you have never experienced Christmas with a 3 and 5 year old, it's an experience I highly recommend. In particular, I recommend you spend Christmas with Helen, because she is - by far - the most fun person to give a gift to.

First, she admires the wrapping, then she tears in - only it takes her f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to actually open anything, because she likes to tear off tiny little strips of paper. As soon as she figures out what the present is, she squeals with delight and shouts "It's EXACTLY what I wanted! Thank you!". And no, even after getting through all the loot my parents gave her, it didn't grow old.
