Christmas Eve 2012

Unfortunately Darby was very sick on Christmas Eve so we went to Mary's and locked her upstairs in a room by herself but I didn't take as many pictures as usual and did not get a family picture.

Christmas Begins

I have explained our Christmas tradition on why we open presents early here so if you are not familiar with it you can check it out.  We started opening present on the 20th and these are just some pictures of our 4 days of Christmas.
  
 I Georgia had been asking for some TOMS so I got her the pink sparkle ones.  Before she opened them I told her the gift may not be exciting to her but I know she wanted it.  She was so happy when she saw them and later that night she said, "You may not think those shoes are exciting but they are very exciting to me."  She is the sweetest little thing.
 Mera had a Minnie/Mickey Mouse Christmas which was good because it is always hard to shop for the youngest when you already feel like you have everything. Georgia was very proactive in deciding what she got her sisters this year.  She saw a Minnie Mouse pillow pet and really wanted to get it for her baby sister.


 Darby got a much desired Fairy Garden.  It was a gift we had given as a birthday present to a couple of friends during the year and she was always envious.  The girls had fun painting it and setting it up.
 There are always lots of books to open.  I hit a great thrift shop this year and ended up with about 28 fun kids books for them to open throughout the week.

 Mera didn't get to help with the fairy garden but got to work on another ornament.
