Maggie is our early riser... she is up at 4:30 every morning like clockwork. Sara had to work this Christmas and since she woke up at 4:30, I too woke up and decided to camp outside the kids bedroom. Occasionally I would hear Maggie singing Christmas songs or talking with her imaginary friends but she seemed content and I didn't want to spoil my morning solitude. Finally at 7:00 Henry began to stir and I was starting to worry... why hadn't Maggie emerged from her room? When I finally opened her door she was intently looking out the window. She asked me, where were the clouds? Was it going to snow? I sense that this was about Santa and his sleigh, so I explained that he was still able to get around without snow. I then assured her Santa had left us presents... even so, I still think I was more anxious about Christmas than the kids. They slowly inched there way down the stairs and opened their stockings and the patently waited for Mom to come home before opening their presents.
That is too cute that she was just sitting at her window waiting for the snow!! She is so cute. Nice that you got a little quiet time as you waited for her to come out. Christmas is such a magical time.
