Merry Christmas!

Merry (belated) Christmas, everyone! The kids had a great time and Emily was such a hoot getting ready for the season! It's the first year that she's been able to understand not only Santa and the presents, but also why we truly celebrate. She keeps singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and talking about his birthday -- it's the sweetest thing to hear from a 3 yr old! :)
Isn't she simply adorable with her stocking? She was so excited when she got to open it and see what Santa brought her! It's the first year we did stockings with the kids and it went over really well! Alex didn't quite understand it all, but he liked pulling toys out without having to unwrap them! :)

Toys from Santa -- Emily got a porcelain Belle doll (from Beauty & The Beast) and Alex got a wooden tool box complete with tools. They were a big hit!! :)
