Emmy woke us up today around 8:30, and we enjoyed cinnamon rolls, opening presents, watching the Disney Christmas parade on tv, ate lunch (leftovers from our Bob Evans dinner), watched Santa Clause 2, went for a walk (Christie and Roger)/played a game (Chelsea, Britti, and Emmy), or napped (Ellie-Kate), made cut-out cookies, and ate our formal supper of ham and all the trimmings. What a day!! Santa generously left a Dora trike for Ellie-Kate, a real guitar for Emmy, a pair of Ugg boots for Chelsea, and a DVD of Oklahoma for Britti. The girls also received a number of personalized gifts from their adoring parents as well as some other treats :) Ellie-Kate was especially touched by her new bike, and she couldn't wait for Daddy to put it together for her. She' s so grateful for everything, and we couldn't even count how many times that she said "thank you." For a little 22 month old, she's pretty amazing, indeed!! We are so incredibly blessed that she is now part of our family. What an awesome gift!!
We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a most happy New Year!!
Christie, Roger, Britti, Chelsea, Emmy, and Ellie-Kate
