The Day After Christmas

Here's a photo of Madison using some of her new play furniture - in this case, it's a play ironing board and play iron. She's currently ironing out the baby's blankets in order to keep the baby warm, because it is really cold outside. Currently at 5:00 pm, it is still flurrying outside and the temperature is at twenty-seven degrees outside. It isn't really the sort of day to go out and frolic in, although at one point I was sorely tempted to go and check out the hill that goes into our back yard. Imagine how that sledding can be... I guess we'll wait until the next snow storm for that one. I think it will be sooner than we think, really. Today was a day to recover, actually. When growing up, it is always the day to get acquainted with your new toys, and that's what Madison has been doing all day long. We've been dressing up dolls, using this new game that helps you trace letters and learn to write, and watching television in the living room. We started out with a Barbie mermaid movie, and then moved on to "Shrek 4," which was actually pretty good. I'd put it up there with the other Shrek movies, which are pretty fun to watch. It's a lazy day right now, and everyone is just catching up on rest: we'll probably plug in another movie after a tasty Tombstone pizza - and maybe tonight try out one of the new bottles of bubble bath that Mommy got for Christmas! We're not doing much to today, but it's all right: all is well. We're together and everything is right.
