Relaxing

It's been a great day so far. I let Emily sleep a little late. We had breakfast before opening gifts. Different from the past. No cookies and drink left out for Santa. The first year without a Christmas letter from that jolly old man. No dirt by the fireplace. No video of Emily coming down the stairs. No matching pajamas. It was time to move on. We had the traditions, and I'll treasure them, and I have years worth of videos and pictures that I can look at and remember. Time for new traditions. Emily was very pleased with her gifts. The big one was the North Face jacket. That and her American Eagle shoes, Juicy Couture necklace and Found book were her favorites. Her father got here about noon, and I took lots of pictures of them, as I do every year, and he took some of us. My plan after they left was to go to a movie before heading to my brother and sister-in-law's. After some thought, I decided to get back into my pj's, strap 2 ice bags on my knee, and relax with my laptop. I uploaded a few albums to my Facebook site, and here I am. It's just about time to put my clothes back on and head on out.

How's your day?
