Xmas Eve in CT

We made it to CT on Saturday after a 10 hour trip that, pre-kids, would've taken somewhere between 6 and 7 hours. Given our recent experience during our trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving, that time loss was to be expected. But we had the misfortune of experiencing more traffic delays in conjunction with fussiness which was very pleasant. Teddy, in particular, showed some real skill in being able to sustain a full wail.

Margaret had a grand time yesterday unpacking boxes and putting presents under the tree. She has no idea what the presents actually are as she showed no interest in unwrapping them. Once that connection is made, we won't be able to give her freedom to bring the presents out and probably won't be able to leave them around in her presence at all. But boy did she have fun with all the colorful presents! She'd trundle back to a bedroom saying "More" and "Oh boy!" only to reappear with another present that she'd toss under the tree (anything fragile there? who knows) before running back for more.
