| Santa left some goodies... |
Well, if you read the previous post, you know Miss Emily went to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in her head. Waiting for Santa to arrive is a tough one for the little darling, but all of the excitement from Christmas Eve and Santa's visit at Sherry's had worn her out. She was asleep within 15 minutes!
Christmas morning, Mommy and JuJu woke up before Emily as usual to make sure we had the cameras ready to catch it on film. And, as each year Emily has had Christmas, we had to gently wake her in order for her to have time to open and play some before heading out the door to Nana's.
When I opened her door to let the Christmas music playing gently wake her, she lifted her sleepy head and said, "Did Santa come yet?" To this I replied, "Oh yes, Emily, Santa did come." Well, that's all it took and she was out of bed in a flash and out to see her stocking and tree.

| WOW... thanks Santa |
Needless to say it was a flurry of excitement and yet she was so sweet and kind and wanting Mommy and JuJu to have turns opening too! Very cute! We did stockings and her gifts from Santa, and then moved over to the tree. We all enjoyed many nice things - Emily her slipper flip flops, movie camera, and hippity-hop from Santa, her Mulan toys from Mommy, and her new electronic tablet from JuJu! Mommy was thrilled that my white envelope gift from JuJu was a years worth of education paid for a child in a third world country. JuJu enjoyed knowing that her white envelope gift from Mommy was a goat starter package for a family in a third world country. They will receive a pen, food, and two baby goats. This will help them to get milk to drink and sell, as well as help them get more goats to make more money for them for a lifetime.
We headed out to Nana's after this and had a nice breakfast and gifts with Nana, Uncle Mike, Aunt Carol, Christi, and Jessica. Emily received a very sweet doll that can cry, laugh, crawl, etc. from Nana. She has now named it Olivia!
After Nana's we headed to grandpa and grandma's. Emily had a BLAST learning how to ride her new princess scooter! This has been a huge hit! Also, we all got to play some fun ping pong and had a blast! After a while at grandpa and grandma's, they took us out to a lovely Chinese dinner! We had a great time, and were all exhausted by the end of the day!
We hope you all had a very wonderful loved-filled Christmas as well!
Love,
Kathy
