Last night we had Christmas at our house. The kids were hardly able to wait through dinner! After a little quick clean-up we handed out presents and brought down the stockings (or, socks, as Jamie calls them). The kids are very pleased with their new toys and books. (It seems that an inexpensive wooden top from Target is the favorite toy of all. Dot keeps trying to get Jamie to trade!)
Dot is at the age where she wants to give presents, but doesn't have much money. While we do let the kids pick out presents for us and each other, she wanted to give something all by herself. That means that I now own a new cookbook (cards from my recipe box copied on each page). Also, there were poems in our stockings:
Love
by Dot
love is love
no matter
what
love is
alive no
matter
what
love is
strong
love is
beautiful
love has
me and you
Trains
by Dot
trains are
going by today
so wave and
say hi trains
are big and
trains are
small trains
are a sleek
person
trains
arrive and
go goodbye
but there
are trains
everywhere
