Here Comes Santa Claus!

What a fun Christmas morning we had this year! Santa left a wild, curvy trail of Kisses that HG had a ball following to his note, and she was so excited to find BOOKS and lots of American Girl stuff. Cress was excited to see her sister excited but was still a little confused at what was happening. Cressey followed HG to HG’s stash, and after HG ‘re-directed her’ to her own toys, she finally found what Santa left for her and played happily. John and I later surprised HG with tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert in Nashville in August, which will be her first concert. We had a nice, slow morning in our pajamas, and then our family came over for lunch around 1:00. We were back in our comfy clothes and many blankets that the girls received as gifts by dinnertime and stayed there in front of the fire until bedtime. I couldn’t stop snapping pics of the cuddling happening. Those must have been magical blankets, although some of Cressey’s stillness is due to her newfound fascination with Bubble Guppies!

Amid all the chaos, I noticed Cressey sitting still watching Bubble Guppies. Girl is addicted.
