Girls,

Christmas was so much fun this year. I was actually awake at 5:30 just laying in bed full of excitement knowing that you could wake up and go see your gifts without us. We actually ended up waking you up at 7:45. We had big plans that you were going to leave your passy on the placemat with Santa's cookies and he was going to take it to the children in Peru that didn't have any. Fat chance. You set it down, ran and got in your bed and had a complete meltdown. I knew that you would be up all night so after some negotiation we conceded. Now you say you are going to give it up when you are 4 or 5 or 6 or 7. I always hear the phrase, "She won't go to school with it." I don't believe it. Anyway, Christmas was a blast. After Santa we went to Papa and Mammy's. Bibby got a growing puppy, easy bake oven, books, kitchen and some fun surprises. One of the books was called, "No more passies." You didn't like it and said that we could leave it there. Virginia got one of the V-tech things that you bounce along with the TV, the kitchen some snowflake lights, funky monkey jammies to match Caroline and Bibbys and some other goodies. We then all walked over to Granny's to meet the rest of the gang. Virginia got a purse, rocking cow, cell phone, puzzles, maracas and other surprises. Bibby got Mia, the American girl doll with three outfits, a table and chairs for Mia, tea set, working microphone with i-pod connection and lots of other trinkets. We did all of this and made it to Brucie and Gigi's by brunch. Bibby got a V-tech (she calls it her Wii), princess dolls, toy laptop, remote control car and once again, lots of other surprises. Virginia got a Noah's ark, foldable doll house, a baby in a moses basket with a loaded diaper bag. We had a great brunch and hung out and watched Daddy and Michael play Wii. It was pretty entertaining. After their house we went on to Pop and Mymama's house. Bibby got her red-headed Cabage Patch that she has named, "Mary Bibb." We have changed her clothes 42 times since Christmas. This year was a blast. It was so full of those, "Please don't ever forget this" moments. Bibby, I overheard you when you were supposed to be napping singing a made-up song and the lyrics were the Christmas story......precious. One day you said, "Now, Mom, Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem and went to Nazereth, or was it the other way around." I loved that you were thinking about the real reason for the season. I love you girls.
