We came home and opened gifts from our extended family and sibling gifts. Emily completely sets the cheerfulness tone in our family right now. She loves each and every gift and gives hugs to say thank you. Ben and Annie followed her example and even hugged each other!
Andy was so THRILLED with his box full of dress shirts!!! (thank you JCPenney for having our favorite Stafford no-wrikle shirts for $7-$9 each with free shipping!) And one lonely pair of socks...
Ben had so much fun with his board (until he took a spill and scarred his hip) and can't wait for nicer weather to use it again! We all love our new aprons from Sis. Dayton!!!
Emily had one more present, but it wouldn't fit under the tree. She waited so patiently for Grandma and Grandpa's gift...
Here comes Dad, bringing it down the stairs...
A vanity - just like the little girls across the street!!! So exciting!
The best part about this gift is that everyone can play with it together. Emily is by far the best sharer in this house because she wants everyone to play! Ben has a blast when I let him paint the girls nails. They will just sit and do each other's hair. Even Mitchell will sit on the little stool for a bit and pretend to play. Or, he will pick up the stool and carry it around to climb on to reach naughty stuff....
After putting the vanity together, we spent the rest of the day playing with new toys and playing new games! Quirkle is great fun - kind of a sudoku/crossword mix - but with shapes and colors! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
