I hope everyone had as great of a Christmas as we did!! Our whole family was totally spoiled!!
Brooke woke up at 7:30 (her normal time), and I managed to keep her in my bedroom for about an hour since we were waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Finally, she was too antsy and we came out to the living room - and she couldn't believe her eyes!! She had a HUGE stack of presents from Santa, not to mention Grandma and Pappy, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Kevin & family, Aunt Heather & family, Nana, Jacqui, and Becky....
She got so many great things. Of course, her favorites are her big kitchen and Ariel doll from Santa, but she also got play-doh, some board games, clothes, Tag Jr. reading system, etc., etc.
Jim totally spoiled me this year, too. I got a bracelet and earrings, new dishes I had been eyeing up, a great picture frame, a Kindle Fire, a meat grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid, and lots more!! I had gotten him a GPS system, replaced his lost wedding band, and got him a Raiders watch.
It took Brooke four - yes, 4!!!! - hours to finally get everything open. We spent the rest of the day playing and enjoying a delicious dinner.
I'm still homesick, but there is absolutely nothing better at Christmas than seeing the pure happiness and belief that eminates from Brooke. I am so happy to make the holidays magical for her.
Now, I need to focus on getting everything cleaned up this week (haha!) and figuring out what we will do on New Year's Eve. Happy Holidays!
