Merry (Late) Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! I hope everyone else did too. By Christmas Eve we were all feeling better. We went to Vacherie and had a yummy lunch and Momma Lady and Grandpa's house then went to Grandma Agnes' party. The girls received lots of wonderful gifts, and had so much fun with all of the family. Betsy woke up at 6 a.m. on Christmas morning so she opened her stocking and saw her gifts from Santa all by herself. Sadie Boo didn't wake up until almost 8. Betsy was so excited about all of her presents. We went to breakfast at Marme's, and the girls and Lawsy had a ball playing with their presents from Marme. After breakfast we went to Jama and Pa's for lunch and present opening. Lunch was delicious as always and we had a great time. Next we went to dinner at Marme's. By the end of the night we were stuffed, exhausted, and happy.

On Friday and Saturday we recovered from the Christmas madness and tried to find places for all of the girls' new loot. On Saturday we ate lunch at Zea, and S sat in a restaurant highchair for the first time. She was so good, and stared at the lady at the table next to us the whole time and didn't make a peep. The lady thought it was funny, and offered to accompany us to dinner (as long as we treated)at anytime so S would be entertained. B was good too. I should have known at that time that they would act up while P was at a work function Saturday night. Yesterday we met some of the playgroupers at the Parenting Center. B had fun playing with her pals. We met up with Michelle and her boys at Daneel Park for a quick visit in the afternoon. Last night Marme came over for dinner, and B went to dinner at Jama and Pa's. Today we went to Krista's house then to Target, home for B's nap then Jama and Pa's for dinner. B performed the whole time, and S was so good. Jama and Pa are doing well. Yay!

The Carvilles were out of town from Saturday till today. We'll see them tomorrow--so glad because we missed them a bunch!

Sadie is doing lots of new tricks--waving, clapping, pulling herself up (once), almost crawling, rocking, and doing push ups of sorts.

Betsy is saying funny things all the time. She thinks that if she prefaces a request with "please" she will get whatever she wants. After Peter left on Saturday night B said, "Daddy looked very handsome tonight, very much like a prince." B likes to say, "come on, mommy" when I don't do what she wants me to do. If she leaves the room she says, "I'll be back in just a minute." B takes her doll, puts her in her stroller then goes to PJ's and brings back coffee and muffins for Peter and me. She also takes her dolls to Walgreens a lot; she LOVES Walgreens, and begs me to go there a lot. Yesterday at lunch I handed B a piece of bread across the table and she said, "Momma, you have a good reach!" She can recite the first several lines of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
