happy christmas

I'm happy to report that we have enjoyed yet another wonderful Christmas. We limited our purchases, and the girls are thrilled as ever with their bounty.

Among other gifts, Santa honored Lauren's request for a unicorn. He brought her a beauty. White with sparkled mane and tail, golden horn, and a pink and purple embroidered chest complete with a pink jewel. "I'm going to name her Julie!" Lauren proclaimed. When asked how she decided on that name she replied, "Because she has a jewel!" Jewely. It's perfect.

Santa also brought Ella her requested gifts, among them a map for collecting U.S. quarters. She gasped when she saw it. The day after Christmas, as I wrapped the girls in towels after their bath, Ella said, "Mom, I want to write Santa another letter."
"You do?" I asked. "What are you going to say?"
"Thank you."

Lindsay, I haven't caught up on your blog for a little while & am impressed as always by your posts. This is really what a family blog should be - a remembering of those cute every day things. It makes me miss you guys even more! Glad you had a lovely Christmas.
