Some highlights from this morning so far:
MADELEINE: (upon opening a big Little People playground) Well, we don't NEED this baby LITTLE PEOPLE toy.
(You're welcome, Madeleine.)
JULIA: (on the subject of Santa Claus) Mom? Is there, like, one VOLUNTEER for every country who delivers all the presents?
(She clearly has noticed the logistical problems of one man delivering gifts to the entire world. However, rather than jumping to the conclusion that MOM AND DAD supply the gifts, Julia has a happy image of her head of a friendly ambassador to Santa, traipsing about the country dropping off his gifts. THAT makes much more sense than a magical man with a flying sleigh hitting every house in the world in one night, right?)
MADELEINE: (holding out wrapping paper, waiting for Ethan to take it from her and put it in the wrapping paper waste bag) Uh, Daaaad. Don't you even SEE that I'm standing here holding wrapping paper very PATIENTLY??
And finally:
JULIA: (upon opening the following dry-erase board) Ohhh! Uh...a making S'MORES kit??
Close!
Merry Christmas, all!
Well, since Santa is a Saint (St. Nicholas), he has some pretty powerful angels at his disposal. So, I think that with their help, all the children get their presents on time.
