I hope everyone had a good Christmas. My girls did. I loved watching Alyssa open her presents and, of course, she loved the paper more than anything. At my aunt's house on Christmas Eve, Alyssa opened her first present and that's all she wanted, she could have cared less about continuing. She just wanted to play with that first toy. I ended up opening more of her presents than she did, but it was still fun. Kaylie, as usual, had a blast. My brother got her this huge stuffed animal dog. People, when I say huge, I mean HUGE! It is probably 4 feet long and 2 feet around. It's probably bigger than a real dog.

Kaylie wanted to leave some cookies for Santa, so, after the girls went to bed, I set out one and a half cookies and part of a glass of milk (to make it seem as if Santa had some) but when I woke up, there was only half a cookie left and lots of, um, crumbs on the floor and the table. Kaylie told me that Santa ate alot of the cookies and I couldn't bust her out without telling her about Santa. It was so funny, cuz she really thought that I had no idea she had eaten the cookies. Anyway, they had a good Christmas and I am taking my decorations down this weekend and trying to reorganize with all the new toys they received.
