Christmas Day

This bayberry candle comes from a friend,
so on Christmas Eve burn it down to the end.
For a bayberry candle burned to the socket,
will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.

After lighting our bayberry candle, we sprinkled some reindeer food outside

 to help the reindeer find their way.

Then we put out snacks for Santa and his reindeer and went to bed.

In the morning we woke up and made a special Christmas breakfast

and waited for the girls to wake up.

Mia was so excited to see what Santa had left for her. 

Mia loved the Dora gifts she got this year, her dancing monkey, and

her first dollhouse and accessories.  Kayla liked the wrapping paper the best.

We then got packed up and headed to GiGi and Bear's house for Christmas morning at their house.

All the girls wore their leopard shoes

It was so nice to have Uncle Ry Ry home for a few weeks.

Daddy's Littlest Girl

Mia got so many fun gifts but as she opened each one she would mumble

to herself  "None in here.  Maybe the next one."

Then finally she opened her last gift and there it was. 

The gift she'd been waiting for all Christmas. 

The gift that would bring the biggest smile to her face.

A box of fruit snacks?!

She calls them "nu naks" and they are her favorite treat and were

her favorite present!

Her very own pair of scissors that came with her play doh kit were a close second.

We then headed to New Jersey to visit with more family.  We had a delicious dinner, exchanged some gifts and spent time with our family.  Mia had the time of her life playing with all her cousins.  She fit right in with the 5 boy cousins she has and was wrestling in no time.

Hope your Holidays were Happy!
