What did Santa bring???

The view...before Emily gets up.

and not to leave Daisy Mae out....pupcorn , toy, & a much needed new bed :-)

Just coming out at 9:45!!!

I think she likes it!

Ooooh look at my golf club set!

Still not ready to part from the bike yet!

Ok...now lets open gifts!

Toaster for my kitchen....

Talking Handy Manny toolbox from Daddy

Enchanted Belle...was this years Snowbabie from Mommy & Daddy


Emily slept till 9:45 this morning. She was awake until at least 11:00 in her bed the night before and had skipped her nap. So...we were waiting patiently for her to get up :-)

When she did get up...she was super excited to see that Santa had come! She LOVED her Hello Kitty (big girl) bike! Of course she had many favorites but the golf clubs, toaster, Handy Manny toolbox, spaghetti playdoh set, camera, snow shovel, new books, games, & puzzles were among them too! Mommy & Daddy bought Emily a new bible & Christmas Snowbabie for her collection. Daddy got her the Handy Manny toolbox & Mommy bought her a "So Real" doll. She was so happy and cheerful that she would even stop nicely and pose with a smile for my pics! This was definately a fun year to wake up with her.

Daisy Mae was excited about her gifts and Mommy & Daddy made out nicely too! My favs were the UGG boots (that didn't come in yet) & my long awaited Harajuku Lovers box set perfume. I have wanted it for some time but would never buy something like that for myself...but Santa did! Then it was off to eat a quick breakfast of Christmas sprinkled donuts (shaped like trees) and get ready to be at my Mom & Jeff's for brunch @ 1:00......

p.s. If anyone is wondering...Matthew always spends the night at his Mom's and comes home right before we leave for brunch. That way he can still visit with them for awhile on Christmas and not miss out on my parents all day :-) We have done it that way for 16 years and it still seems to work out best even though he misses out on watching his sister open her gifts...he gets to spend the rest of the day with her.
