Christmas ’10

For Christmas this year Annika received a piano; the twins received a piano box. All could not be any happier….

We are struggling to maintain the reality of Santa/KristKind. Annika opened her piano box, only to find (and read) the Amazon paperwork (MAIL TO: Mark Johnson…). Sigh.

The package opening was, shall we say, out of control? We have to work next year on slowing things down, allowing everyone to enjoy and see what each received.

The duality still continues to challenge us. The Krist Kind comes on Christmas Eve, Santa on Christmas Day (stockings). But I continue to refer to the Krist Kind as Santa (that’s how I sorta see it), with Annika always correcting me.

I wanted to make a “movie card” this year, to give to friends (You Tube). But, surprisingly, Annika didn’t want to have anything to do with it. She reacted like I was generating homework for her. I’ll try again next year, as it could be a lot of fun.

Merry Christmas girls…! Love you!
