Christmas

The only problem with this Christmas is that Gracie decided to sleep in and Isabelle woke up 45 minutes before her. How do you tell a 5 year old that they have to wait to see what Santa brought until their little sister wakes up? We finally woke her up and happiness was restored. Isabelle received the Ipod she wanted and Gracie got her Tinkerbell dolls, but the big hit was the shopping cart. Gracie filled it up with all her new toys, got the cash register from the basement and started playing store. Isabelle couldn't believe the pink Ipod was actually here and was more interested in what was in her stocking than anything else.

Gracie kept on saying: "Thank you Santa," and then a few minutes later "Thank you Santa so much!". It was a good morning opening gifts and then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Barker's for brunch and presents, then to Grandma and Grandpa Ferrans for some more presents and then home. Despite the overload for me on the girly presents, it was a great day.
