This Christmas was quite exciting for both Lucy and the two of us. It is the first year that Lucy gets the idea of what is going on with Christmas. She understood that Santa was going to stop by and leave her special gifts and that we would all be celebrating together. She also had a visit from a very special elf, Ellie, during the month of December. Every night Ellie, the elf on the shelf, went to the North Pole to report to Santa whether Lucy was being naughty or nice. In the morning she would return and find a new perch. Lucy anxiously looked for Ellie every morning and was quick to report when she was doing a good job. So, she couldn't wait to see what Santa brought, but was also sad to say goodbye to Ellie, who returned to the North Pole with Santa. (Don't worry, she'll come back next year!)
Lucy did a great job opening her presents despite her complete excitement. She got some puzzles, tub crayons, a cool Hess truck with tractor inside, a shopping cart, accessories for her baby dolls, match box cars and, of course, some new books!
Kenzie arrived a little later and joined in on all the fun. I love the picture of the girls in their matching shirts from Kenzie. What a great idea!
