Day 1585. Sammy was up really early again. Eventually Randy got up to make them breakfast. I had my alarm set for 9:30, as I had a student at 10 am. After I got up and started getting ready, I found out that my lesson was canceled. I then did office work, while Randy took the kids downstairs. Eventually they returned upstairs, while I went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Day 1584. Yesterday we had a day at home, with the kids playing with all their new toys. The kids have been up early every day, including this morning. However, this morning we could not take it easy and disregard the time. I had set my alarm for 8:30; by that time even Randy was up already.

Day 1582. Last night they had not opened ALL their presents, even though Tammy wanted to really bad. I told them the socks were an American tradition, so they'd get to open them in the morning. And so they were eager to go downstairs to open them.
