So our annual Christmas adventure began this year with an early visit from one of Santa's helpers. The girls had asked for kittens for Christmas and these two cuties were sent to them a week before. Apparently they just couldn't wait until Christmas.
The girls have been such good mommies to them. The white one is Pearl and the tan one is Peter Pan. We've been listening to Peter Pan in the car so of course Lauren jumped at the chance to use Peter's name. One of our close friends, Jamie, has a cat named Pearl...and Emily is just in love with her Mrs. Jamie so .....Pearl it is!
Mrs. Jamie and Mr. Steve also stopped by one day bringing Christmas gifts of books!! Thomas just loves the books they pick out for him.
Our next stop was Saysa and Uncle Jim's house. Here the kids received their ornaments from Papa Mac and Mrs. Jacque. Every Christmas year the kids are excited to put up their keepsake ornaments from them.
You can see Emily has already attacked the cookies and cake.
This year they also received water bottles with their names. They've been using them most days around the house.
Thomas was excited about his ornament too!
The girls oogled the cash for their new purses. I think Lauren was more focused on George Washington's picture.
And of course, Thomas got some more vehicles for his collection. That boy and his obsession.
It was a fun night with family and the kids had a great time.
But the big finale was in the garage!!
Bicycles for everyone!.. Well, I didn't get one...and Jonathan didn't either but all the little people did. And oh the love! The girls really needed replacements and these have been just perfect.
We did have a little trouble getting Thomas off of his. He sat on it for a good 20 minutes before finally coming inside.
It was a good time. I think about Dad a lot this time of year. He would have been so fun with them....more like obsessed with them. One day we'll be together again.
Our adventures continue...on to Christmas Eve!
