Santa Claus Came to Town

 Christmas morning Claire woke up at 0815. We tuckered them out Christmas Eve so that they would go to sleep easy and sleep in. I made Claire wait until Kate woke up. Kate woke up at 0845. I'm sure that was a long 30 minutes for her. She kept asking, "When will she wake up? Can I go wake her?" We all walked out together and took turns opening presents. Claire and Kate are close enough in age that it was almost like double presents for them! Claire got a horse barn, dress up clothes, stompeeze slippers, doodle bear, leap pad, art supplies, and a remote control My Little Pony car from Grandma and Grandpa Judy.
 Kate got a backpack, Little People Disney Princess Castle, stompeeze slippers, art supplies, a leap pad, and the same remote control car from Grandma and Grandpa.
 Our neighbor Dee has always been so nice to our family. She has babysat for us numerous times in the past. She makes the most beautiful quilts and has made our girls both quilts and Claire a sock monkey. This year she made our baby boy a quilt and also made Kate this bag and inside the bag were 4 little handmade dolls. Cutest thing ever!! We are so thankful for her!
Our family has been so blessed this year! We are so lucky to spend everyday with each other in a safe town and a warm home. We have been blessed with health and happiness!
