Abby was so excited to see that Santa brought her a "big girl bike". She's given a try a few times and she's getting better at riding. Santa also had a momentary sanity lapse and gave her a Barbie guitar. He also brought a cute little mail set that includes a mailbox, postman mail bag, and little letters you can write on and then erase and use again. I gave her a big bag full of art stuff--doodle and marker pads, watercolors, new markers and colored pencils. Rick gave her a precious little sterling silver heart ring to wear on special occasions. Every time she opened a present she said "It's just what I always wanted!". When she talked to my mom later in the morning she said "Santa got the right thing!". It was too cute and so much fun.
Andrew enjoyed the wrapping paper the most. Santa brought him a little walk-behind toy, some lamaze toys and a name train. I gave him two books and Rick gave him a little baby basketball set. In his stocking he got a squishy VT ball which he loves. I guess he's learning early :) He was such a good boy all day, even though he stayed up way past his bedtime!
Rick and I gave each other stockings with little goodies inside. Our real present comes in two weeks--we're going to the beach for a weekend without the kids! We can't wait!
Later in the morning Rick's family came and we enjoyed lunch and presents with them. Bad Santa made his annual present drop-off. Whitt and Andrew both napped through the whole gift exchange.
We headed down to my grandparent's for MORE eating and MORE presents.
This morning we had Christmas with my parents. The rest of the day we have just been lazy, which has been very nice. Rick tried to play golf but got rained out :(
We'll head back to Richmond tomorrow. Got lots of new toys to play with!
