Merry Christmas!

圣诞节快乐！今天一大早，随着一声“麻瑞酷瑞丝摩丝”，安娜和姐姐就跑进了我们的房间，也顾不得梳头洗脸就跑到楼下开圣诞礼物了。最让我们感动的礼物是安娜的老师亲手给她织的小鱼帽子和一本书。

Early this morning, we heard "Merry Christmas !" and then Anna and Leah ran into our room. They grabbed some clothes to put on and went downstairs to open presents. The most touching present is a fish hat and a book hand made by Anna's teacher.
