Christmas Morning

Our cardinal rule of law for Christmas morning is that nobody can go downstairs until everyone is awake and together.  We got up before the kids and went to get them up, but as we were about to open Lexi and Gracie's door, we heard them talking.  Lexi said, "if we act really really suprised when we go downstairs, they won't know we've already been!"  This from a sweet, innocent 4 1/2 year old...  So they peeked, but at least they came clean when we opened the door.  We'll have to use better bribery next year to not have a repeat of this next year.  


The girls have been BEGGING for a Barbie car every year since Gracie was 2 (that's 4 years now - which is a long time for girls.)  Santa decided that with this HOUSEFULL of girls, a pink and purple motorized vehicle would get lots of use over the years.  Hooray!
