First of all I'd like to greet everyone a Merry Christmas! 

   For the first time in years hubby and I implemented the "no gift-opening until Christmas" rule for our kids. They used to just tear into gifts the moment they arrive but this year hubby said he wanted them to experience what it was like to be overwhelmed by all the gifts they received in a single moment, and so our son Kenshin was bugging us to go home already during our Christmas dinner at Emerald Chinese restaurant last night.

   Sure enough the kids tore into everything as soon as we got home. Amazingly Keirra got some of the very items Disney's Princess Magazine was giving away during their anniversary issue -- but not the actual prize she won! She won a Disney Princess Tabletop Vanity but got Disney Princess Enchanted Tales On the Go Collection and Disney Princess Backpack Make-Up Set as gifts. Now she can play with everything as a set! Was just thinking... ang galing, because I asked Keirra to choose which prizes she wanted from the mag and she picked the vanity, boom box, and enchanted tales on the go. Now she got two out of three!

   Merry Christmas one and all!
