Christmas 2008-
After the gifts were opened and dinner was cooked and eaten, the games began. Farkle was the game of choice that night. This Christmas was a transition year. No longer do they believe in Santa. No longer do they ask for toys. They ask for music and clothes. No more stuffed animals.
We knew this would be a tough year for that "now what?" feeling so we bought silly gag toys to make it easier. Maura is having great fun with a finger puppet and her mini bedazller. Delaney enjoyed her mp3 stuffed toy speaker and Tyler seemed to enjoy the flash back to childhood with his Yoshi action figure.
My childhood is remembered as a time extended family got together. My mother was insistant about coming "home" for Christmas. After she passed away, the ties seemed to unravel a bit. We settled into individual celebrations.
