Had a nice Christmas Eve, and am now very much looking forward to tomorrow morning.
Dan left for work a little bit ago, and so I'll keep my girlies confined to the upstairs tomorrow morning until Dan gets home. And then, we'll watch our little girls' faces light up with excitement-- that is my favorite part!
Spent so much time making cookies for Maddie's cookie exchange at school this week, that I failed to prepare cookies for Santa. We cheated and used Megan's cookies, but girlies were still excited. They had made their cards for Santa earlier this week, so they were excited to put them out for him to read. Faith's reads: "Dear Santa, I love you because you are the best Santa in the world. Love, Faith Josephine Constein" (* I love that she wanted to write out her entire name*). And, Maddie's card to Santa reads, "Dear Santa, have a Ho Ho night!" and her card to the reindeer reads, "Dear Reindeer, have a carrot night!" They're too funny.
They had a wonderful time visiting with Grammy and PaPa today, and then at Nene's house with everybody. Nene spoils them with too many gifts (Maddie calls it "Nene overboard!") and Aunt Lisi, Uncle Nate, and cousins got them an awesome house/cottage that they can decorate themselves. That will be lots of fun!
I'm so proud too because in all of the Christmas hoopla, it hasn't been forgotten what the true meaning of Christmas is all about. They've been counting down the days until Jesus' birthday, so I think that's neat.
