Merry Christmas!

We've had a wonderful first Christmas at our house! We started the night with a children's service at church, then enjoyed Christmas eve dinner with Paul's family plus my dad. The best part about a Christmas eve dinner is no cooking on Christmas day - everyone just grazed on left-overs all day!Molly & Daddy sprinkling reindeer food in the yardPutting out Santa's cookiesChristmas morning was perfect. Molly woke up at the crack of dawn which had us scrambling to beat her downstairs. She ran into the living room and was overwhelmed by all that Santa brought her! She got a new bike (purple of course!) an art easel, a purple bean bag chair, a new doll, the "big head" Darth Vader that she saw at Disneyland and a stocking full of goodies!

The three items Molly specifically asked Santa for were a purple bike, big head darth vader and a purple and green hummingbird.
