On the 2nd day of Christmas...

It took a few years but I've learned! I didn't wrap any of Eliana's gifts & had them all out of the package & ready to play! For Sami- everything was wrapped but also out of package & ready to play. When the girls came downstairs- Sami saw the opened toys & got so excited; she told Lance, "He came!" Sami's excitement was contagious in Eliana & it really made Christmas so much fun this year!

What the girls saw as they came downstairs



This was their favorite gift! Thanks to my brother, Chris, for helping us clean this up & get it ready! As you can see Ellie is all about driving & Sami more about getting her babies settled; she does enjoy riding in it though! My the personalities that are emerging!

Our advent calendar contains ornaments of the nativity & each day we put our wiseman or shepherd on this special tree. Here Eliana is putting our last ornament, baby Jesus on our tree.
