2. After Sophia's nap, we went over to Susan's parents' house for Christmas Eve celebrations. There was eating, drinking (homemade mead), and opening presents. Sophie got butterfly wings, which she wore around for the evening. Rainer got a hand blender in which he made a rather pungent combination of items: carrots, almonds, and pickles. I received an orange bathrobe that I have not dared to try on yet.
3. We got the kids to bed an hour late and they passed out.
4. We spent the evening gluing Rainer and Sophia's new and improved train track to the newly painted and redesigned train table.
5. Susan finished Rainer's doll, I wrapped presents, and we managed to sneak an episode of Desperate Housewives in.
