Christmas Day

For some reason, LA is a lot busier than the Bay Area on Christmas. The 91East was tied in a knot for no apparent reason. Riverside? Palm Springs? Vegas? Where the heck was everyone going? The trip out to the airport took twice as long as it should have.

But everyone is here now and we've had a late Christmas lunch. The kids have been patiently waiting to open their presents. Okay, S has been patient because she's too young to know any better. Jordan has been real patient. But the problem is we've run into nap time so she's down for the count and she'll have to wait another hour or two to open presents.

We went to Disney on ice yesterday. This show brought out the whole gamut of emotions for J. She was happy, sad, angry, scared and impressed all at the same time. Really, it was her first exposure to Disney. She didn't know the Little Mermaid or Lion King stories or any other stories. And she says she wants to learn skating now, but I'm not so sure. We didn't see anyone fall, so she probably doesn't understand how hard it is yet. Pretty good show though.
