Friday night was Elizabeth's and my first Xmas Eve as parents. I'm sure things will be much more involved and crazy in future years (once Dorothy is older, and she perhaps gets siblings), but it was still fun and different this year from years past.
Parents have told me that the three worst words for a parent are "Some Assembly Required." Luckily, this year Dorothy's toys were relatively simple to assemble. I can only imagine some future year, though, when I'm tasked with helping Santa to assemble a giant doll house, or My Little Fusion Reactor™. For now, though we've had a good Xmas so far, and are looking forward to relaxing the rest of the day, and maybe opening some more gifts (Dorothy's only tackled a couple so far, since they're all so fun to play with).
Everyone here wishes you all a safe and happy holiday!
