I think I've said on the blog before how excited I was for Christmas this year. It didn't disappoint. Mim just loved opening all her presents and she kept exclaiming about how "bew-ful" everything was. We tried to keep it simple this year, with just 3 things from Santa for each of the girls. It was still so much for them that I'm thinking we might simplify even more next year. We'll see- it was hard to not just buy everything that I knew Mim would love. Mim got dress ups (4 different pink skirts, a princess hat, play necklaces and bracelets, and new ballet slippers), a Little People house set, and a Play Dough fun factory. Elle got a play mat, play gym, and some books. That plus their stockings, all the grandparent gifts and cousin gifts and everything else was just a ton.
Mim's Santa gifts were wrapped, Elle's weren't (why would I, when it would be me unwrapping them the next day?). Here's some pictures from the big day:
Mike got some video, but it was with our actual video camera and I can't remember how to get the videos on here. Her reactions are adorable, you'll just have to take my word for it.
Here they are trying out their new stuff:
And the aftermath:
Mike and I discussed how for the next decade or so, Christmas will just get funner and funner. And more expensive. We're excited about the funner and funner part, though.
I hope everyone else had a Christmas as merry as ours.
