Christmas 2011

I think we may have peaked in the "how fun can Christmas be" category! SK finally loved Santa, she just simply asked for pink presents, and she was super excited and THANFUL for everything she got. It doesn't get much better than that for a momma. :) At least about the time Sarah Katherine gets picky about her presents our new little one will be at the thankful precious point!

This Christmas we stuck with our tradition - Christmas Eve service at church, then back home for soup and baking Santa some cookies, read the Christmas story, and open presents from each other. Christmas morning David and I got up early so we could be ready by the time SK got up, then we did Santa and played for a bit before getting on the road for Tennessee (David's Family). We were able to spend a few days up there and SK had an absolute blast playing with her cousin's. She threw a fit every time she had to go to sleep b/c she wanted "my girls"!

We are so very blessed and thankful!

SK is less than thrilled with the reading of the Christmas story, but bless her she stayed still and listened!

She even squealed when she got a book - I love this kid!

SK is like a little momma, she feeds, clothes, and puts to bed any and all stuffed animals. Well, she got a baby alive that will talk to you after she gets a bottle and just look at how precious she is taking care of her baby!

The only thing SK consistently asked Santa to bring her was a pink purse with pink socks in it (random request I know). Well, since she was such a wonderful kiddo this year her wish came true! Note the pink purse is even a SPARKLY pink purse. :)

Her "big" gift from Santa this year is a perfectly-sized bike for a little lady. Of course pink with matching helmet.

The full haul with SK smack in the middle. Books, babies, princess goodies, and Muppets galore!
