Annika started the day at 3 am. I asked her what Santa brought and told her to go to bed. She said she was cold and that was why she was awake. After a few more hours, I was able to get up and make coffee, set up the video camera and then drink some coffee before the chaos ensued. Annika woke up Trevor who once realized it was Christmas, ran out of his room yelling "It's Christmas, it's Christmas!!!!" over and over again. Santa brought him a pirate ship. He was very excited. Annika got a magnify thing you plug into the TV.
I think the most prized gift for Trevor was a 2$ light saber I got after Halloween. Why do I bother worrying - I just need to get about 10 things that cost 2$ and I will be all set. That and boxes.
Annika got more Little Pets which I found out brings her collection to 130. I had no idea she had that many. I guess I know what she doesn't need now. WE had the Murphy clan over for dinner. The boys were too busy playing to eat. We had to sit them down and tell them no toys until they ate something.
Trevor asked me it if was Christmas still today. I told him no, but that he still got to have all of his new toys.'

Glad you all had fun. Hope Santa remembered you too.
You should read the kids the Christmas Every Day story (I can send you a typo-ridden copy if you'd like).
Merry Day After Christmas!
I Love You All,

We had a lot of fun visiting for Christmas, especially eating all the terrific crab bisque and millions of appetizers.
Hey, do NOT forget the fabulous music-a-thon we watched at dinner. Style tips, plus some jaw-breaking vibrato. I know I was moved.
