Christmas morning
Christmas morning arrived with all the excitement we are used to it having. The girls came downstairs to find that Santa had delivered.

There’s some good stuff in these stockings. Molly’s jaw dropped when she saw that it included a white chocolate Kit Kat.

Once the stockings were emptied, it was time to open some presents.



After Molly got this mermaid tail blanket, Leah wished she could have one as well. Jen obliged and got her one too.

Since Leah got her FlipaZoo, it’s been at the top of Molly’s wish list. She was very excited to open this box.

She really loves this hippo, or giraffe.

Every year, the girls purchase gifts from the Secret Shoppe at their school. It’s always fun to find out what they picked for us. You should know they each went separately and had no opportunity to discuss their purchases. This year, Molly got me a Phillips head screwdriver and Leah got me the matching flat head screwdriver.

We gave the girls necklaces with their first initial on it, which go very well with their nightgowns.

This is the face Leah makes when she receives Shopkins. It will go in the dictionary under Shopkins face.

The Christmas merriment completed at our house, but then it was time to head to Grams’s house to keep up the celebration. More on that tomorrow.
