We had a magical Christmas! Gigi came on Christmas Eve and brought early presents for the girls to open. Then we all loved watching Hailey and the rest of the children's choir sing their hearts out during the Christmas pageant. Lainey even dressed up and went on stage to sing too! Then we hurried home to set out milk and cookies for Santa. The girls woke up bright and early and were excited to see that Santa was very good to them this year. Hailey's favorite gifts were her art kit and her American Girl doll. Lainey loves her giant Lambie and her Doc McStuffins pet vet. Avery loves her sparkly puppy purse and her piano. After a chaotic morning of present opening, we got ready to host Christmas Lunch with our Virginia family. We ate drank and everyone was very merry! We even had karaoke thanks to one of Santa's gifts! The next day the girls were excited for Grandma and Grandpa to visit from Florida, which also meant MORE presents! We have three very spoiled happy girls!
