xmas 2010 memories

Huxley:
* opening Tickle Me Elmo from Santa, ripped the paper around his face and Elmo went "Hello" and Huxley went "Hewwoo".

Lux:
* opening too many gifts and simply being overwhelmed - for her that special xmas magic didn't seem to "land" this year as it had in the past, I think in her head the American Girl wheelchair that she asked for was different from what she received and she made a few comments regarding other gifts she "asked" for, ones we have no recollection hearing about and she seemed mostly tired and edgy. note for next year, ensure she is rested for xmas day and ensure we take our time opening gifts and enjoying each one. really she displayed behavior i often feel myself about days like xmas - that the hype before never matches the actual day and you wish so hard for things that may or may not transpire.

Both kids:
* playing xbox kinect dance central and both kids along with geoffrey yelling "xbox" at the tv (well huxley was yelling a boxssss to the tv). hilarious.

I will try to take the week before xmas next year completely off, it was too hard working this week, although I didn't have much of a choice. Note for next year.
