Even More Christmas Fun

We let the Christmas fun continue into the 26th. We were expecting the whole family from Birmingham to come, but sickness sidelined most of them.  We were glad Bama was able to make it though (especially with all the yummy leftovers she brought us!). As we were eating dinner, I said "how about we finish dinner, exchange presents with Bama and then take a bubble bath so you guys can play with your new bath toy?" Lily put her fork down and said "What?" She couldn't believe there were more presents to come!

We let Bama open her present first because we were so excited about it. I love this look of total disbelief on her face. Isn't it priceless?!
We gave Liz a frame with three pictures in it. The top one is Liz and Lily riding Dumbo, the bottom one is Liz and Mia riding Dumbo and the middle one is Liz and Ryan riding Dumbo when they went in 1980 for Ryan's 2nd birthday. We put a mini frame around the middle picture with 1980 written on the left side and 2010 on the right side. As soon as we knew she was coming to Disney with us, we knew this would be her Christmas gift. She loved it!

The girls waited patiently for Bama to open her gift, but then they were ready to tear into their presents. Lily was very excited to receive this matching game from Josh!

Mia having a blast with her new scooter from Bama!

Lily was beyond thrilled when she saw the Cinderella carriage toy from Bama. As soon as she opened it, she said "Ohhh, it's what I always wanted!" She has had so much fun playing with it!

Mia opened the bowling game which is for both girls. They are having a great time with it as they learn to bowl; they are actually playing very nicely with one another as they take turns bowling and setting up the pins.

Mia couldn't wait to get out this Color Wonders finger paint set from Josh. She was so proud as she showed me the picture she painted later.

Amy was so sweet to send each girl a doll and matching blanket; Lily received Tinkerbell while Mia received Belle. Lily slept with Tink and her blanket this evening!

While we hated that the rest of the family couldn't join us as originally planned, we had a lot of fun with Bama. Hopefully we will see everyone else soon, so we can say "thank you!" in person!
