Early Christmas

I found the camera cord!!!!!!!!!!!! In the very bottom of some box....So, after uploading 145 photos, now I can blog again:)
We celebrated Christmas in Gig Harbor -early, before we moved. It worked out great!
The girls and I baked some cutouts and we iced them-we set some out for Santa every year-it's a must:)


We got a real tree-which was new for us....but we loved it! The girls made all of the ornaments:)

...well, except for the bulbs, bells, and snowflakes. We didn't explain that it might be Christmas when they went to bed. SO, to their surprise, when they awoke at 6am the one morning, there were toys under the tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, to their shock, Santa found the cookies in the container on the counter!!!! ...and left a bitten one :)

They were delighted with everything! Dalaina was just so happy to receive the small disney dolls and castle that it took a while before she realized that she had other gifts!!

Faith just went from one to the next as she always does!!!



The computers were hit---thanx COSTCO!

But, the castle got the most play:)


...later that day:)
They had a great early Christmas...then it was time to pack and move!
