Very impressive, Santa! Reed looks so darned cute in those striped Santa pj's! Looks like he had an awesome morning opening all those gifts. And I am impressed that you have already blogged!! I also cracked up about the measuring spoons. Smart move to get free shipping!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you all!
I want you to know I looked EVERYWHERE for an art easel for Ellie for Christmas and they were sold out all over town. Then I remembered the one you got at consignment and gave up deciding to wait for consignment. I'm glad Reed enjoyed his bike and easel -- and all the other goodies. I'm so READY for consignment. Guessing you aren't selling the easel yet, eh? :-) Merry (belated) Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGREAT Christmas Pictures. I loved all of the Christmases that you all enjoyed!! Love you, MOM AKA Enna
