Christmas 2010

This Christmas was so fun with the girls. Lainie really seemed to understand the meaning of Christmas more this year, and also really looked forward to Santa coming and leaving presents for everyone. We tried to teach the girls that Christmas was Jesus' birthday and that is what we are celebrating this time of year. Lainie also learned that Jesus had a mommy named Mary and a daddy named Joseph. We had a birthday party for Jesus with all our friends that helped both girls understand the concept. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera with me. The party was at Graham's house and Laurie did such a great job with it. We had so much fun celebrating His birthday!

Christmas Day was so fun watching all the kids. Lainie asked Santa for a Heffalump House which was this little zoo by Play Mobil she found in the Toys R Us toy book. Both girls wanted the Mickey Mouse Choo Choo express, and Lainie asked for a tea set. Santa delivered the toys that the girls wanted despite the horrific visit full of tears by the Salmon girls! :) Santa decided that Ellie might like a bouncing zebra as she got older, so he left that for her as well!
