Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family...this is my favorite time of year...especially because of the joy it brings the kids...there is nothing better than the look on their little faces as they witness the joy of the Holiday...

We were up before dawn this morning to see if Santa had stopped over night....to the Little Brat's delight, the carrots were gone as well as the milk and cookies we'd left out the night before...this could mean only good things as we entered the living room where the tree and presents were found...


Her stocking was filled with all sorts of wonderful things...candy, toys, a ballerina ornament, and a tinker bell flashlight she has not put down yet! One of her favorite stocking items was a Pipi Longstocking video though...we watched it first thing and I think she's hooked...good call, Santa!



Santa also paid close attention to her wish list and brought 2 Moxie Girls for her to play with...these are like the younger hipper Barbies of my day...and their heads are much larger too...


..but I just don't get it...WHY is it that every doll that comes into this house must be immediately disrobed and stripped of all it's clothes??? Anyone?


Mommy and Daddy did good with this toy medical set...she's been talking a lot lately about being a doctor for animals so she can take care of them all...Fair Warning: Run Spooky, Run!


..and a couple My Little Ponies to boot..Lucky girl!


But Strawberry Shortcake stole the show...this little house came with more tiny accessories than stars in the sky...most of which are sure to be lost before sunset...


...still, she's been playing happily all morning with it...it's a winner.


...a special thanks to Jesse and his family for the gift and card...that was very kind of you! Randi loves it!



Randi wasn't the only one that scored with Santa though....JR got a pneumatic air gun to make quick work of construction projects, and mommy got a trip to the jewely store (tomorrow) to replace the wedding band I ruined in an unfortunate horse doctoring incident...wahoo!

Hope Santa found you on his 'nice' list as well....miss you all...lots of love and prayers from our place to yours!

Merry Christmas...

My daughter got the same exact medical set! I will be having my blood pressure taken every five minutes or so for the next week. I don't know what it is with the stripping of the dolls but it happens at our house too.

I've been thoroughly examined...multiple times...and my blood pressure is all over the place! :)
Good to hear the nekked dolls aren't just something we are dealing with...silly kids!

The disrobing of dolls happens in our house as well. We don't get it either, especially since I don't remember doing this as a child.
