santa came!

Christmas morning was perfect. The girls slept in until 7:15, which was when Addison was at my bedside. She came directly to our room and totally bypassed what awaited her in the living room. I had to remind her that Santa came the night before and suddenly she was filled with excitement.
Morgan was pretty excited too. It was fun to watch her open presents and investigate all the new stuff. I put a spin toothbrush in each of their stockings and they were definitely a hit. Morgan had a death grip on hers most of the time she was opening presents. I had to hide it when she wasn't looking. You can see her testing out her new potty below.
Addison has been asking for a Pillow Pet for months. It was the first thing she spotted from Santa. At that moment I saw the magic of Christmas in her eyes. I love it! Other highlights included the Oso characters and the Barbie dolls.
Christmas afternoon we headed to my mom's to do presents. We made a quick stop at my aunt's house where I took the picture of Morgan on the scooter. She thought she was such a big girl. I just love her sweet face. And guess what? Mom got both the girls toothbrushes. Who knew they would be her favorite.
Addison got about a million Little Pets from mom and Jim. She was in heaven.
Baby M celebrating her first Christmas. I think she enjoyed it. She didn't care about the gifts as long as she had her hands.
That's it. That's all I have about Christmas. I'm always a little slow and just took all of the decorations down this week. I really don't mind it though because I like looking at the tree. Now the organizing, cleaning and putting away of the presents is going to take a lot longer. It's currently being stored in the hallway, covered with a blanket.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! It sure was for us.
