Highlights of my Christmas 2010:

*Eli so excited that Santa DID bring him presents even though he was on the “Bad list”. (When he said this to me I could tell he was truly worried that Santa wouldn’t bring him gifts.)

*The excitement on the kids faces when we told them we were having a baby. Hallie jumped up and down.

*Hallie losing the excitement of opening gifts about 2/3 of the way through. When she opened the one gift she really wanted (a pony for her dolls to ride), she hardly said a word.
*Telling our families we were expecting.

*Eli’s favorite toy: art kit.

*Hallie’s favoritte toy: her babies.

*Eli so excited about sprinkling his reindeer food.

*Eli’s plate of goodies he left for Santa.

*Hallie not wanting to wake up on Christmas morning.
