Early Christmas

Tonight, we had early Christmas here in Northfield, in advance of our trip for the day itself to Moorhead. I have tons of photos to share (and not, I discovered in looking at my digital photo collection, just from this evening), but I only had time tonight to put up a few in the "Christmas 2006" set on Flickr. Julia, of course, has in heaven as she opened one present after another. I was pleased to see her glom onto one gift from Mom & Dad (a circus-animal play set), one from Grandma (Oscar the Grouch doll), and one from Grandpa (a set of toy tools). While she readily combined #2 and #3, she didn't get to play with #1 before bedtime. This led, naturally, to her plaintive call over the monitor: "Daddy, I'm wakin' up. I'm very ready to play with my circus. Please come in, Daddy! I'm wakin' up!" Tomorrow, my dear.

Blogging's going to be very light over the next week, owing to the festivities, but I plan to connive for any and all chance to post during our travels.
