Christmas Presents after New Year's

It was a little late this year, but we finally opened Christmas presents the day after we got back from Europe, on January 5th.  It was too hot for the girls to wear their new Christmas jammies, but they still wrote Santa a note the night before, thanking him for travelling back to South Africa to bring our presents after Christmas.

The next morning, the girls ran in to our room to ask if Santa had come.  After Justin checked out the scene in the living room, he played our "Christmas song," letting the girls know that it was time to come out.  So they rushed to the tree and saw all of their new presents.

Some of the highlights of present opening were .....

Kaelia:

• My Little Ponies
• Hi Ho Cherry-O
• Sophia the First doll
• Merida doll

Taelyn:

• Ariel wedding dress
• Dazzling Princess board game
• Dance Dance Revolution Wii game
• Teddy Bear (this was the only present she asked Santa for)

After all the presents were unwrapped, the girls had to search  the living room for one last present from Santa.  It took them a little while to find the presents, but it was worth the wait.  Taelyn got a princess skooter, and Kaelia got a bike!

We had a lovely Christmas and are so thankful that we could celebrate in both Europe and South Africa this year.
