Magic of Christmas

Had such a wonderful Christmas/ New Year's break. It literally broke my heart that it had to end. There's nothing better in the world than having my family all together, the way it should be.

Girlies were so excited for Christmas, and spent a wonderful Christmas Eve with everyone in Lancaster. They had a ball! Their excitement to give OUT their presents to everyone this year was what I thought was the coolest thing.

Santa's big gift this year was a dollhouse for all 3 to share. This is going to be something that will last them years and years; I can see it already. They haven't stopped playing with it. They bring everyone to visit the dollhouse-- Calico Critters, princess dolls, little figures, etc etc. And, they use their little houses as hotels! They come up with the coolest things.

We visited Kitchen Kettle Village on New Year's Eve, and had so much fun. All 3 were so ready to "stay up to see the bomb drop" (as Faith puts it!), and didn't make it past 9:30-- which I still thought was a respectable hour considering they were all quite sick by that day. Maddie developed pneumonia and croup for Abrielle, but I've never seen them complain less about being sick. They amaze me.

There's a lot more to write, but I am happy in knowing that I have all the little details of this Christmas 2011 in my memory forever.
