Happy Christmas! I managed to stay in bed until almost 7:00. Of course Jack had climbed into bed with us just after 5:00 a.m. so it didn't actually mean I slept until 7:00. Opening presents was very nice. We're quite civilized and take turns. At one point Jack opened a small Lego set and asked if we could take a break so he could put it together. Yes, very civilized. I tried to take a nap between opening presents and going to Ogden's for Christmas dinner, but mostly talked on the phone with family in Argentina (my sister) and Massachusetts (mom, dad, sister, uncle). Christmas dinner was also very nice. Lots of family chatter and games (I won a round of Apples to Apples after not winning a single point in the previous round). We got home late in the afternoon. Jack built more Lego (he finished building two of the three big sets he received), I watched a movie (Barefoot in the Park with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda - I'd never seen it before).
