| A very Merry Christmas 2013 |
Christmas is always one of the most special and magical days of the year. This year was even more exciting as both girls were patiently counting down the days until Santa arrived. Elise wondered how Santa would remember her list among the millions of other children in the world, meanwhile Alina had genuine concerns as to how he would fit down our chimney (haha, love them!). Both our girls were so sweet this holiday, and truly relished in the spirit of Christmas. They only wanted to watch Christmas movies, read Christmas books, and wear fancy holiday ensembles. It is the most fun time of year for us as parents because there really is no other day that kids look forward to or talk about quite as much.
The girls woke up on Christmas morning completely starry eyed and delighted. They were so good about waiting to open their gifts until after we had ate breakfast. Nana and Papa joined us on Christmas morning for breakfast and gift opening too, which the girls also enjoyed. They were both spoiled by Santa, Mommy & Daddy, and the rest of their relatives. Santa remembered Elise and Alina's Christmas wish lists and fully delivered on the Disney princess castle, dolls, and Minnie Mouse toys. He brought loads of stocking stuffer goodies as well. Mommy and Daddy made sure the girls had plenty of new outfits, pajamas, games, toys and even a new bicycle for Elise and a new scooter for Alina. It was happiness all around in our household, and even more fun when we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see all the uncles and aunts and Nana and Papa's to see all the cousins. Merry Christmas 2013!
