I can't wait. I love this time of year and I so much love being a mom this time of year. Guillermo and Maya are so excited, Maya especially, it seems. Throughout the day for the past several days, she has picked various presents from under the tree. "What's in there?" "What's in the present, mama." "For me?" "Oh, present for you."
I hope their childhood Christmases are as magical as mine.

quite brave of you to out wrapped presents under the tree. if i did that, maya's future husband would rip them all open.
put, not out, but you knew that...not that there's anything wrong with your presents outing themselves, or that they're even homosexuals...i've said too much.
I want to see a picture of the train cake!
