Santa Came!

 Santa visited us early and boy was he generous! 

As soon as she turned the corner and saw the Dollhouse it was a mad sprint to touch it to see if it was real! She was amazed, almost confused! I think because she gets it- I think she realized..Santa DID come! 

It was magic! 

(p.s...I think Santa had a little fun putting all Lucy's princess' all over the dollhouse!)

In fact in these pictures she is saying - 

"Santa bring me dollhouse, for me, for Lucy!" (while patting her chest!) 

I love her expressions! 

I love seeing her put it all together- "I sat on that big scary guy's lap and told him I wanted a dollhouse and he brought it here to my house?..!!!" 

The next crazy moment for her-captured in these pictures was seeing the plate. 

She was in shock! She said -"Rudolf ate the Carrots  And Santa ate the Cookie" (insert mouth wide open and a audible gasp!) 

She still mentions this almost every day with the same enthusiasm in her voice followed by "and Santa bring me dollhouse!" It has made it all so fun! 

A cute moment was when she opened a letter in her stocking from Isaac and Gracie it had 3 dollars in it and said- one dollar for Erik, one for Nikki, and one for Lucy Merry Christmas! So sweet! 

Main happenings with present openings (top left to bottom right)

1. She loved unwrapping the presents- the annoying part was she had to have every. single. piece off before she would even acknowledge the toy inside! ha! 

2. When it was not her turn to open you would find her back behind her dollhouse already playing. 

3. She got many small figurines/squinkes and such (what was I thinking) and after she opened each one she would jam them all through the front door of the dollhouse. They really started to pile up! 

4. Trying to get her to smile and hold up her gifts...this was all I kept getting! ;) 

Lucy and her loot. 

Mom and Dad got a few things too....

I LOVE my Lucy necklace and my beautiful serving platter! 

It would be an understatement to say Erik loves Hot Sauce...

We also bought him a Kindle Fire as a late Christmas Present! 

He is a happy boy! 

Afterwards we went to a little brunch with some fellow 4th years! 

We missed Lauren who was at work, the Tracey's who were out of town and the Hones who were in the Hospital having a baby!! So happy for them!
