It has been about two weeks since Christmas and already it is all a blur.

Everyone had fun and mom and I loved seeing you girls so excited.

Overall, everyone had a favorite gift or two, but mostly:

H, you were interested in what K got.

And K, you were interested in what H got.

But that’s how it goes with siblings, right?

You were both so beautiful that day.

H, you had on Santa pajamas, and K, you had on Elf pajamas.

Because every Santa needs an Elf!

My little 4-year-old Santa and my little one-year-old elf running all over the house.

It was a fantastic Christmas.

I love you.

You were crazy Christmas Eve.

H and K – both of you.

After dinner that is.

It was relatively normal before dinner.

We had pasta.

And then you girls were nearly uncontrollable.

Like you knew something was coming.

Screaming and running through the house – staying up too late…

It was perfect.

I desperately love you.

As far as music goes, I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas, was our theme of the 2017 holiday season.

I had never heard the song until a few weeks ago but apparently – it’s a classic.

I stumbled across Kacey Musgraves singing it on her Christmas album while I was trying to find Christmas songs sung by girls.

That is what you always request, H.

“I want one with a girl singing!“

We have all been singing it for two weeks.

It has been fabulous.

No crocodiles, no rhinosauruses!
I only likes hippopotamuses!
And hippopotamuses like me, too!

I love you.

-Dad
