See what I mean, they were really konked out!!! You can barely see two little dark heads peeking out of the blankets if you look close.

I guess Elfie had some good behavior reports to give to Santa, as Santa came indeed!

This year each girl was given a small allowance to buy a gift for each of their sisters. They were all so sweet and thoughtful in picking things out for each other and really appreciated what they were given. Rian picked out this nice hair salon set for Jess.
Hayden was happy with her compass from World War I.
Daddy loved his new video camera and is excited to start recording his crazy family.
Hayden picked out this pretty black lace top for Rian and Rian gave Hayden an Our Generation sewing machine/kit for her AG dolls. Hayden also handknitted little scarves for each of her sisters.
Hayden had asked for a Kindle Fire this year, along with a zillion computer programs for astronomy, typing, and Spanish to name a few. After looking into it, Santa decided it was only a small step up from the Kindle Fire to her big ticket item this year- an Ipad.
It was very funny because Santa hid Hayden's Ipad in the movie cabinet. She tried not to look or act disappointed once she had opened all her smaller gifts and didn't get a Kindle, but you could tell she was a little sad. Mike asked her to put something away in the cabinet and when she opened the drawer, there was her gift from Santa. You should have seen and heard the hoopla she made when she opened the package. Had us smiling all day.
We spent the rest of the day lounging in our pj's, eating pancakes, going for a walk around the neighborhood, and watching Christmas movies. Merry Christmas to all!!!!
