Megan practically flitted around the room in her new Cinderella nightgown (and headband!). Did I mention Megan sort of has a thing for Disney Princesses? In my former kidless life, I thought one could possibly avoid this road when raising girls. Not so. It may be a bad sign when your 17-month old can conduct "Once Upon a Dream" from her car seat.
Christmas morning was quite the event, too! Megan really "got it" this year, and was so excited to wake up and see what Santa Claus brought for her. Apparently, not as much as she expected! We actually have video footage of her arriving on the scene. Until I learn how to upload video from our camcorder, this play-by-play will have to do:Matt: (as Megan rounds the corner into the living room) "Megan, did Santa Claus come last night?"
Megan: (scanning the room with a dejected look) "No, Santa didn't come."
Then she turned and walked out! What?? It must have been a smaller pile than she was expecting - whoops! Maybe we shouldn't have built it up so much. Actually, we got her quite a bit, but we didn't even attempt anything big since they were both spoiled by their grandparents later.
Matt also opened quite the stocking stuffer. At my last ultrasound appointment, I had the doctor write down the sexes of the babies and give it me in a sealed envelope. I wrapped it up in a little box, and put it in Matt's stocking. It was a really great surprise to find out that we're having ..... two more girls! (I know, old news for most of you who we blabbed to right away, but still worth documenting, right?) Needless to say, we're still getting used to the idea of 4 little girls. I don't even want to start thinking about 4 big girls, 4 weddings, etc. Here's a picture from Christmas day of the four of us, enjoying our small family while it lasts.
On the day after Christmas, we enjoyed a leisurely day and beautiful dinner at Sara and Tim's with Mop, Pop, and Uncle Kyle. It worked out really well - Mop and Pop had their own time with the kids, without the rush of Christmas day. Megan had the best seat in the house, briefly:
But, Bridget also got center stage for while. Here's one of her cuter moments.
She also has a new freaky party trick was only caught with Sara and Tim's camcorder, and it's probably better that it never makes an appearance here. She now thinks it's hilarious to roll her eyes into the back of her head, repeatedly, and for an audience. (She's done this since she was a couple of months old, but has recently gotten back into it!) Usually, she'll do it if we ask her, "What can you do with your eyes?" Strange! And, on the 4th day of Christmas, for those of you still reading, we went to my uncle Joe and Aunt Libby's house for a Field family Christmas - a treat that we normally miss since it's usually on Christmas day. With 22 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren (and 6 more currently on the way) this is a big event, with the highlight being Uncle Joe moonlighting as Santa. FYI - He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt over his Santa outfit because he flew in from vacation to come to our party - duh! Anyway, Joey and Clara each took their turn on Santa's lap,
while Megan and Bridget contemplated from afar, but decided to wait until next year. 
Speaking of next year, Megan is already thinking about what she'll ask for. Hmmm....
Merry Christmas and Happy 2009!
