Our girls woke up a little later than we expected but their enthusiasm made up for it. What a wonderful feeling it is to watch your children as they enjoy this most wonderful celebration. To them we give gifts of toys and from them we receive gifts of unconditional love. Their smiles are what make Kristy and my Christmas really complete, the true meaning of the season is easily found in their faces.
Molly carefully unwrapped her gifts just as she had done the night before and Neleha ripped through them like she was racing. For Neleha she added a Furby to her array of talking creatures. We did our best to explain to her that you need to tell the Furby what to do, in the end I think she still preferred the push button approach to making her toys talk and sing.
Both girls received new doll houses. Kristy assisted Neleha and Kristy's Mom helped Molly. Our girls sure loved playing house with Mommy and Grandma. It was sure fun to watch them do so.
Unfortunately I was so busy enjoying the moment that I didn't take many pictures. A special gift that Neleha received was a quilt that Kristy made for her. I plan to post pictures of all the quilts that Kristy has been recently working on but what makes Neleha's so special is that it was the first hand stitched quilt that Kristy has made. It tuned out beautifully and really matches Neleha's personality.
Our Christmas morning was most wonderful, to spend time with our loved ones...... certainly what the celebration is all about, the most simple yet most important gifts of all...... the gifts of each other.
