Home for the Holidays

This morning I was awakened by Julie singing "blue, pink, white, green" as she twirled in circles in her bed- turning the colors that she sees as she spins into a morning cantata.

Downstairs there was a loud thud, a yelp, and Trevor screeching, "Tell Alex to get off me! Mom! ALEX! Nooooo!!"

"Erika, did you ask to use my green scarf?"

"No, but did you ask to wear my purple sweater?"

Water gurgles through the pipes in my bedroom wall, and someone in the shower yelps and yells, "Don't flush the toilet! I'm freezing!"

The presents are opened, the cookies are done, and our Christmas bonding has just begun...
