Christmas Morn
By: Jack Date: December 25, 2017, 8:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I've been up nearly two hours now, and managed to get nearly 5
hours sleep. I gained a bit of extra sleep by putting tape
across the playroom and kitchen entries. I bought those small
bottles of milk and juice, and we had plenty of cereal and
muffins out where the little guys could reach them. I have
trouble sleeping late unless I'm sick, but that probably gave me
an extra fifteen or twenty minutes.
Right now, the kids are nibbling and playing and exploring.
Things have actually been kind of hard with Kaden, because there
are a number of things I usually get for a kid when he moves in.
In this case, we found out he was staying so close to Christmas
that I wasn't sure what to do with some of it. Instead, I sat
aside the things I knew I would get any kid his age when he
moved in, and managed to get a good Chrsitmas selection for him
- he certainly seems happy with it. Him being an only child,
our normal, sometimes slow way of opening presents was a bit of
a shock to him, but he seemed to enjoy it.
It's just impossible to get a family our size all together at
once. Doing cousins night and family night and Christmas
morning kind of breaks that down. There are still a few
presents under the tree as we wait for a few how just haven't
made it yet (Corey has a lady friend, and he spent last night
with her family, then had to go to his Mom's this early
morning).
The cats and ferrets are exhausted from helping open presents
and deal with the trash, and I think Kade's ribs hurt from
watching them.
I'm a bit tired, and a bit full on junk, but it's been a good
season, and I'm feeling pretty happy.

David is catching up after being busy with his own family for a
few days.
It's funny, because I saw the post without seeing the date, and
thought - 'damn, I was sure I'd talked about this. Was it just
in chat?' ;)
For reference, Fido's Christmas had already been asked about and
discussed in Kaden's thread, but I'll quote it here as well.
[quote author=Jack link=topic=233.msg2524#msg2524
date=1514232152]Fido did get his own presents. Unwrapping them
is kind of fun, but Van will usually work some of the paper
loose to see if Fido's will to work at it or not. He received a
puffer jacket to wear outside when it's very cold, a new
blankie, a small bale of sweet timothy, and a 'bun fun tree'
which is kind of like a scratching post with chew toys hanging
from it.
