Dear Maya and Emi,
Christmas 2017 came and went in a flash! On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Papa Stan's house to exchange gifts and have a southern food feast with your aunts, uncles, and cousins. Add all the stuffed animals and remote control cars underfoot, and it was a houseful but so much fun!
A couple other things about Christmas Eve: Maya, you lost tooth #3 that day so both Santa and the Tooth Fairy came that night! Luckly the 4-5 inches of snow we got overnight didn't scare them away, and neither did Bridgette, who we were dogsitting at our house because of the weather!
Christmas morning you two were actually pretty patient, letting mommy and Baba sleep a little later than expected and even have coffee before going downstairs to see what Santa left for you. When we did, you found costumes, jewelry, stuffed animals, tickets, craft stuff, and lots more!
The snow slowed everything down, so instead of our usual Christmas breakfast at Nanny and Poppy's house, we went for lunch instead. Again you two had fun playing with your cousins, eating yummy food, and opening presents--this time from your great grandparents and great aunts and uncles.
Yesterday, the day after Christmas, we tested out the new sled that Aunt Kelsie and Uncle Shawn got for you guys. It was cold out, but it's going to be even colder for the next week or ten days so we didn't waste time!
Well, mommy is going to go get lunch ready and then head out to get the last few items to prepare for your 7th birthday party coming up this weekend, Maya. It's very likely that by then you'll have lost tooth #4, too. Please, stop growing up so quickly!
Love you both!
