Christmas

Ok, I realize I am a bit late posting these Christmas pics, but better late than never right?

Little Messy Missy lived up to her name eating every chocolate in sight, she got it all over her pajamas, (or pajamies as Whitney calls them) and on the couch! Santa didn't forget her just cuz she is the smallest. She got that rocking horse, new socks, pajamies, books, candy and littlest pet shop stuff.

Aubrey got the sewing machine she was wanting, and some clothes, littlest pet shop, snow pants, books, webkinz cards, bella sara cards and candy. Not too shabby!

Whitney got a leapster 2, socks (which she was actually really happy about!) webkinz cards, bella sara cards, candy and clothes. She also had a pair of red sparkley shoes that fell off the sleigh and she had to wait for Santa to bring them back for her. They finally came on January 3rd. She was so happy and has rarely taken them off!

The girls decorated the tree this year. Here is the finished product.

Whitney would hang them all in the same spot!

Aubrey moved around a bit, but could only reach so high, and would ask for help. All in all it was a great Christmas. My kids were happy with there gifts and excited to give to eachother and us as well. I was expecting some tears with Whitney not getting the shoes, but nope she took it like a champ!

For those of you who don't know the story of the shoes here it is... (warning children who know Santa is REAL should not read the following!)

We saw Santa and the only thing she asked him for was Sparkley red shoes. I was then on a mission to find them. I went to five different stores, NONE had the shoes. I found pink ones and asked Whit if they would be good. She said no, I asked Santa for red. He will bring me red. I said well what if he runs out of red sparkles red is a very popular Christmas color, and she just looked at me like I was crazy. So I went online and ordered them on Dec.12 They were supposed to get here the 18th. Well the 22nd came and still no shoes. We had a terrible snow storm and UPS couldn't deliver them. I was so sad! I really wanted to give them to her, there is a guy in our ward who delivers for UPS, he couldn't get them for us either. They were on a truck with 5,000 other packages that was stuck in Bremerton. Anyway long story short they didn't make it. The thing that made it so heartbreaking is that when we went to get the girls in the morning Dan asked if they were excited and Whit said YES! He said Why? and she said FOR MY SPARKLEY RED SHOES! We both died a little inside. It was sooo sad! But like I said she knew they were coming and was ok with it no tears or anything! I couldn't believe it!
