Operation Christmas 2013

Christmas was a huge success this year. We got American Dolls from Santa comers with little white beds and a back pack to haul them around. Kaya was more into fluffy frilly sparkley Hello Kitty dresses but seems to like her doll. Her wish from Santa was a barbie phone which he sent in a Barbie medical kits. Some of my favorite memories; last night at Grammy and Grandpa Clark's Gus and his dad started teasing McKenna that her present that she wanted to open the most (wrapped in Tinker bell) was socks and panties. She was really worried and kept asking me why I got her  those she didn't need socks and panties. Continuing the joke Gus told her she needed to be grateful for what she got, some other kids didn't get nice socks and panties. Her reply was 'But I already have socks and panties'. Then after convincing her to open her present, she found beautiful Ariel pajamas and told him that he 'was wrong, neener neener neener'. It was hilarious. The girls got a lot of clothes and pajamas which Kaya was especially excited about. After pulling each one out she would ooh and ahh then hold it up to her and twirl. She really loved them. There was once when McKenna pulled out an outfit that she wasn't thrilled with and Kaya came up to her after sensing her disappointment and said 'oh, McKenna that is beautiful' which cheered McKenna up a bit. This morning Santa had given Kaya a Frozen coloring book that McKenna was especially envious of and Kaya walked over and gave it to her without any prompting, I was very impressed. The girls have been such good sisters lately, they live playing with Grant and it warms my heart to see how concerned they are over his happiness. All in all it was a great Christmas, having little ones at Christmas brings out the true meaning of Christmas. My heart has been so full of love
