Christmas 2010

Santa brought what the girls were begging for. The hard part for Santa was that the girls knew that American Girl Dolls are supposed to look JUST LIKE YOU, so trying to match their red hair at, say, a less expensive North Pole factory, just didn't work. So the real deal it was. Pillow pets and Barbie cars were also in high demand and were equally loved. It made me happy that as they were opening presents they were so excited for each other. They were thrilled that the reindeer ate their food, Santa ate the cookies, drank the chocolate milk and even left a note for them! Christmas is magical for these young ones and I'm so grateful to watch the magic play out.

And we ended the evening by stopping here for this magnificent scenery.
