Babies First Chaos (opps...I mean Christmas)

Wow...we survived. I am not exactly sure what I expected the girls first Christmas to be like, but the reality was a bit more challenging than I had anticipated. Christmas is usually a stressful time for me (as it is more many) even without the care of twins on my plate. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the whole holiday hooplah was a bit overwhelming.

Don't get me wrong, it was wonderful to get the chance to spend time with extended family (although it is always too brief), eat all those forbidden treats, and share in the spirit of giving. But fitting in all the feedings, diaper changes, and makeshift naps amongst all the ribbons and wrapping flying around at break-neck speed was a tall order to fill.

I am pleased to report that the girls despite the somewhat chaotic atmosphere around them, fared rather well and maintained mostly delightful dispositions throughout the various holiday gatherings. And they just looked too cute for words in their little Santa suits! I can hardly believe they will be running all around contributing to the chaos at this time next year...truly amazing!
