12/24/07 - Christmas Eve


Hello again from UA,

So today was a trip back to reality. Our daughter was not the perfectly well behaved angel that we have dreamed of for so long but more of a typical 5 year old child pushing all the limits and all her parents' buttons. She had a rough day and that made it rough on us....for once the three hours didn't fly by. Lots of Nyet today and a few time outs as well as the loss of outside time because of the misbehaving. All that said, she is cute as ever and her smile lights up the whole room...even when she is being mischevious.

So for Christmas Eve Donna and I went looking for a little something sparkley for her without success. Instead we found a very cute outfit for our daughter and had Dinner in McDonalds. I can say for a fact this is the first time we've ever had double cheeseburgers for a holiday dinner. All that said, at least we were together. Tomorrow will likely be tougher for us as this is the first time (and hopefully the last) we have ever been away from our children on Christmas.......sigh.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Michael and Donna

Merry Christmas to you both and to the rest of your family.

Just think, you'll always have memories of the time you had Christmas dinner at McDonalds!

Glad things are going well. She wouldn't be a normal 5 year old without pushing some buttons. Trust me, we're dealing with the same with our 5 yr old bio DD!

Hope time moves quickly for your so you can all be home together soon!
