Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was finally here!  I woke up pretty early and couldn't wait to see Claire come downstairs.  To my total shock, she really was listening when we told her she couldn't come down until 7 am.  I saw the light on around 6:30, but she did not open that door until 7 on the dot!  My parents arrived just before so we all got to see her come down and discover what Santa had brought!  It didn't look like much - some of the gifts were hidden behind the furniture so that Fielder couldn't get to it  :-)

One of my favorite things we did this year was take Claire on her own shopping trip (to the dollar store) so that she could pick out gifts for us and her cousins.  She really put thought into what she wanted to get each person.  I got a mug for my coffee and Daddy got an elephant nail brush (because he likes elephants of course.)
She was SO excited to see each person open their gift - I can't believe she actually kept them all a secret.



Of course the big excitement was seeing what Santa brought.  He came through on the Doc McStuffins doctor kit!  He also brought a Doc doll and Stuffy too.  A couple pet shops, snow mittens, a book, and toothpaste were in the stocking.  Mommy and Daddy gave her ballet shoes and a note that told her she would be taking ballet classes at the Y in a couple weeks!!

 

Santa didn't forget about Fielder!  He got a couple things he needed in his stocking and a toy remote.  Santa must have known how much Fielder loves remotes!

It was a very Merry Christmas morning!!  We had a nice breakfast with my parents and while the kids played with their new toys, Rob and I packed up and got ready for a trip to the farm.  To be continued....
