Santa came to town...

We had such a GREAT Christmas morning. Presley got lots and lots of great gifts. She woke up to a drum and a book from Santa (he didn't over due it due to her age!) and the cookies and milk she left gone. Katelynn got a kitchen and some clothes. The two of them played all morning with their new toys. Santa also left stockings for everyone. He always leaves oranges and apples. Presley tried to eat the orange whole after trying to eat the fruit roll up in her mommy's stocking!!

After we found Santa's gifts we all headed up stairs to let everyone else open gifts. We all ate breakfast and made our coffee and sat around the tree as we shared our gifts. I have to say there is no greater joy than seeing your child experience Christmas for the first time. We enjoyed teaching her about Jesus Christ and his birthday. We enjoyed teaching her about Santa. We also enjoyed teaching her about the giving of the season.

Presley got clothes, toys and books. However, she mostly enjoyed the wrapping paper, tape, boxes, bows, ribbons, ornaments and playing with Katelynn. Katelynn is Presley's world. She adores her. Presley cared little about much else, including momma and daddy, when Katelynn was around.

We have enjoyed spending time with my parents, Dusty, kaci and Katelynn. There is nothing like family. No family is ever perfect but I sure think ours is special. We have grown to be such great friends. I am truly blessed. If only Brent, Crystal and Dylan were here this would have been a near perfect Christmas.

I hope the day was filled with Joy and Blessings for everyone!
