Highlights:
--Tess really wants a REAL dog, but I love her excitement of the stuffed one Santa brought. And her camera.
--I loved that Tess wore her new t-shirt while holding her camera in one hand and her big dog in the other as she ran around the house chasing clues and string. (Aimee found this shirt at The Children's Place and couldn't pass it up, it's a dog holding a camera, which are the two items Tess asked Santa for.)

--Abby played with her doll house all day, singing her make-believe songs as she went. She named her little doll house girl Lewis, of course.
--Jake was very concerned on Christmas Eve that we had enough yarn for everyone. Aimee took care of a very long yarn hunt for him leading to this gift. Jake's expression and excitement with his new electric helicopter from Aimee was AWESOME!
--Clara was completely taken with Aimee. It was so nice to have a break from constantly being the one she wanted to hold her.
--Aimee's Better Off Dead themed gifts preparing her for her trip this Summer to Thialand.
--Mom and Dad were way too good to us this year. We all got gifts from them and then to top it off they sent us a dehydrator! Perfect for our year food supply goals!

--We made our traditional big southern breakfast. Yum. Dan bought me a new griddle which was heavenly to use. After 10 years of trying to cook the white sauce/gravy on my own I think I finally mastered it.
--We ate lots of treats and leftover mash-potatoes and meatballs!
--We stayed in our jammies all day, played with the new toys, watched our new family shows and jsut enjoyed each other.
--Dan took the kids out to play in the snow.
--Dan opened his last treasure hunt gift after 7pm.
--At bedtime Dan heard Abby singing a song about how much she missed her dad and wished he'd come back. As he walked into their room Abby exclaimed, SEE TESS, IT WORKED! Of course Dan went up a three times to give hugs and kisses again.
--The night ended with the adults drinking soda, eating Cheese Cake Factory cheese cake, and and watching Inception.
