Maggie had a blast going through her sister's stocking...and hers...and opening all of our presents! She still insists that Santa meant to bring HER the My Little Pony training toothbrush and toothpaste. Ughhh-older sisters (that's for you, Maggie Wilson!!)
St. Nick sent the girls on a short Christmas Morning scavenger hunt in search of their BIG gift-this was after clue #2...her attention span was really short because she was ready to go back through her indoor loot, but she hung in there with us!
Putting on her raincoat at Santa's instruction-it was a cold, rainy, nasty morning in Birmingham, but she was a trooper-not a lot of pictures were taken from here because I was holding Mary Allison and trying to keep her dry while Robby filmed Maggie on the video camera. The big surprise was a PLAYHOUSE for the girls...custom built by lots of special, amazing, precious elves, who must be the kindest souls I know (or don't know). They worked until the bad weather cut them off, but luckily Santa left a long to-do list for us to complete after Christmas. So, more to come on the playhouse! Her first words, after a big old smile, were..."well, Dad...it's not a treehouse!" Well, Maggie, you are right, but Santa had no idea you even knew what a treehouse was!
Back inside, Mary Allison (and her humidity induced curly hair), was starting to feel the spirit of Christmas-so she immediately reclaimed her My Little Pony training toothpaste!
And called a few friends to wish them a Merry Merry...one of my favorite tricks! She and Maggie BOTH became experts on cell phone etiquette early, I am ashamed to admit...must have learned that from their daddy! :)
Mimi and Papa came to see what Santa brought...
And Belle and G-daddy sent this activity table-she LOVES it! Couldn't even wait to get it out of the box...HA!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas morning at home...just the four of us...relaxing, playing, and eating too much! Later that night, however, we headed to Robby's parent's house for some time with the uncles, aunts, and grands. We ate a delicious meal and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon over there too! Maggie wasted no time playing cars with her Papa.
And Uncle Andrew (and William too) picked right up and flew the kids all over the house, airplane style, and played with the girls too. Those girls love their uncles!!!
It was an absolutely AMAZING Christmas...we are so blessed beyond measure! I hope you had the merriest of Christmases!!
