A Very Merry Christmas!

We had a fun and relaxing Christmas up at the cabin this year. It was the first time ever that we've spent Christmas all by ourselves without lots of family around. It was a change but it was also very nice.

Santa was very generous this year and brought Alex and Johnny each a new bike. Alex got the Princess bike she had asked for and Johnny got a hot wheel/big wheel. Christmas morning while Brad was making breakfast Alex decided to write a thank you letter to Santa with the stationary she got in her stocking. Here's what she wrote (she was saying it out loud as she was making squigglies on the paper).
"Dear Santa,
Thank you for Johnny's motorcylce and my new bike and Dad's foot sleds and Mom's new orange"
(Brad got snow shoes and I got the 3 wisemen for my nativity set but all she remembered was the orange that came out of my stocking.)
After present opening time was over, Alex grabbed her 12 Dancing Princesses and Snow White and isolated herself in her room. I went in to snap a picture or two and Alex had me do an entire photo shoot of all of her princesses. We had one with her and all of her dolls, one with her and the 12 dancing princesses, one of her and Snow White and Snow White's dresses. One of her and just Snow White. One of the princesses without her and one of Snow White without her. She wanted to take a picture of each of them seperately too but that's where I drew the line. She sure loves those princesses though.
Johnny's favorite present was his eatable ball that Santa brought him. What a great idea Santa came up with. Johnny puts all of his toys in his mouth anyway so now he has one he can actually taste.
I hope everyone had as great of a Christmas as we did!
