Merry, merry.

We had quite a merry christmas indeed!  Poppy had so much fun playing with her cousins, opening gifts and eating lots of food.

I can hardly believe Christmas is over.  Looking forward to things getting back to normal around here.  Marc and I both have off this week and are looking forward to lots of fun stuff we have planned with Poppy.  This morning was her very first visit to the dentist.  She was a champ!  She let the hygenist clean her teeth and the dentist do an inspection.  Once again, little miss surprised us all.  And then as a treat for doing such a good job at the dentist, after her nap we all went to PF Chang's for dinner and then out for her first movie theater experience.  We went to see The Princess and the Frog and she absolutely loved it.  She might have liked the popcorn and the pink lemonade even more than the movie.  Tomorrow we're off the the Strong Museum of Play...

I love that kitchen! I can see why she was totally distracted by it and too busy for the other pressies. Max will definitely be getting a kitchen some day (maybe not pink though :)

Man....we were supposed to go to PF Changs for dinner, but ended up at Moe's. The weather/traffic after hockey was crazy, so we had to change our plan...I'm still not over it. Happy you all got to enjoy though! Cute pics, as always.

Looks like a wonderful Xmas and I love how well she did at the dentist.
Colin loves kitchen sets ever since we were at your place. He goes to PBKids and wants to only play with the kitchen and use the vacuum. This kid is super-obsessed with cleaning (not a bad thing really I guess).

Love the kitchen set! I can't wait to come over and play with it :) Claire was the same way on Christmas! I think that just means that they got great gifts. Merry Christmas!

Love the cute pink kitchen. Brendan received a "Dyson" for Christmas. Maybe they can get together and play house. Too cute.

That kitchen rocks! We finally put all the decorations away tonight - kinda relieved, but kinda sad.
