Christmas 2010

This Christmas season has been a good one. It is so fun to see all of the things that are exciting at Christmas time through 3 year old eyes. Sometimes during all of the holiday rush it is easy to miss some of the little things that Allie loved this year! Since Christmas decor and toys are out in stores and Costco starting in October, we had Allie make a wish book. She wanted EVERYTHING at the stores and on TV so when she would want something we would say "lets add that to your wish book". It didn't always work out but a lot of times it did. So instead of having a list for Santa, she had a wish book... and I think Santa came through and delivered all of the gifts she wanted. Paige didn't have a wish book but Santa was good to her too! When Allie woke up in the morning we said what is today? and she said "Thanksgiving" and smiled. Then said she was just joking and said that S-A-N-T-A came to her house last night. At some point this season she learned to spell Santa so she has had fun spelling it! The girls slept in until 8:30 so Grandma and Paka were able to make it over to see them open their gifts. It was fun to see the excitement in their eyes waiting to see what was wrapped up in each package! After we opened we ate yummy home made cinnamon rolls that Grandma and Paka brought and then stayed in our jammies most of the day. Then headed over to Grandma and Paka's for round two of opening and a very nice dinner. We had a very Merry Christmas! We are truly blessed!
