Merry Christmas everyone!
The temperature outside continues in single digits, but it's sunny, as so often happens in Minneapolis. It's a beautiful morning.
Looks like Santa visited while we slept.
Soon Uma will be awake. She doesn't know what's in store for her.
Eventually she is awake and after a short while is told to go check out the stockings. She's not sure what to make of this. "Santa has come?"
Cathy takes Uma to the mudroom where she can look outside and see for herself that the reindeer food she left last night has disappeared. It's starting to get exciting.
It's back into the living room to start to open the gifts stuffed into the stockings. That pesky tape slows things down.
Dad helps with gift opening pointers.
Chris does a fine job opening his stocking gifts in comfort.
Dan compares notes with Chris on who got what. Unfortunately, Nancy is not feeling well this morning and remains in bed. We'll keep her stocking for her till later when she's feeling better.
Uma's doing good with her gift opening and it looks like Santa brought her a wrist watch which her mom just put on her wrist for her.
"What time is it Uma?" "It's 10 o'clock Nanima." Not that Uma can actually tell the time - yet - but it's always 10 o'clock for Uma.
Meanwhile Ani doesn't have to open any gifts today. She just watches and enjoys. Next year I'm sure Uma will be helping Ani open her gifts.
The stockings are all opened and now it's time for breakfast. Traditional Christmas breakfast is sweet rolls and fruit salad. The coffee's ready, lets eat. Then it's on to opening more gifts.
