Christmas Time

Christmas Eve 2010

As Santa starts to pack his sleigh I've gotten all of our gifts wrapped and ready, the tree and "fireplace" are cozy and the stockings are hung.

Tomorrow we'll be going to a party with our kid friends for a present swap then home to bake Christmas cookies for Santa Claus! It's hard to believe Christmas is here already.

Meeting Santa 2010

The girls were really into Santa this year which is wonderful. They haven’t really had any liking for the big red guy before.

On our want through the mall to visit Santa they literally broke out into an all out sprint. They were knocking old ladies down and merchandise was flying! (Well, at least that’s what it seemed like to me as I desperately tried to calm them down.)

As we got closer to Santa’s magical area they slowed to a crawl and snuck their heads around to get a peek as we waited in line.

They were so excited and yet so nervous. They kept asking me “Mama, what do I say?” or “Mama, does he know my name already?”

Merry Christmas

We had a fantastic Christmas day. The girls woke up at their usual 7:45am and I had the camera waiting for them!

They were amazed to see that Santa had left them presents. They were a little worried that he wouldn't be able to find us since we moved but their fears were squelched once they saw everyones gifts.

Hailey ran over to see if Santa had eaten the cookies we baked for him the night before and he had! Not only that but he drank nearly all of his milk. They both agree that since Santa finished his food he will grow up big and strong. Lol!

They opened their gift from Santa first. He brought them exactly what they had asked for; a new Barbie doll. She is a fairy with removable wings that you can decorate! They just had to have her opened right then and there.

After opening all their gifts (Barbies, two little drawing tables from Doodle, new bedding from Poppy) they put on their new outfit from Santa and had a small snack.

All the mornings excitement nearly wore Hailey out. She sat down next to Doodle and after some back rubs from Poppy was nearly out for the count! She perked right up though when she learned we had more fun Christmas day plans.
