Christmas Day
Somehow Santa came in the middle of the night and not one of us heard him and woke up. Peter got up first and let me sleep in until he brought be breakfast in bed. After eating I called in the girls and they told me that Santa had come and brought more presents. They said he ate all the cookies and drank the milk and the carrot was almost all gone. I had to get up to see this and was so amazed at the heaps of presents waiting to be unwrapped. The girls quickly cleaned their room and ate breakfast and then we sat around the tree and handed out presents. Bresa read off all the names and gave them to who they belonged to. Though, it looks like a lot there really weren't many toys this year. Mostly snack foods and practical stuff like shampoo, toothbrushes, and conditioner. Of course we can't go a year without receiving the girls favorite, Quilted Northern toilet paper (seriously they ask for it every year). Abbi did get a new Jelly Bean hat to replace the one I had bought for her in WI that she loved but lost it somewhere and was really sad about it. She also received a stuffed giraffe from Grandpa and Grandma Judy. Bresa's main gift was a pink violin from Mommy and Daddy. She has wanted to learn 
how to play for two years now and since she was still asking for one we decided it probably wasn't a phase. She will get lessons starting this coming year and we will soon listen to the sounds of a dying cat as she learns to play. We got a surprise phone call yesterday from our Pastor who said that some anonymous person had come to the church and left a bunch of presents for our family. Peter picked them up and brought them home and we opened them this morning. 
The girls each got a some really nice toys and Peter and I each got a few nice things as well, that was a really nice surprise because neither of us would have had anything to unwrap otherwise. It was obviously someone who knows us well and we have an inkling as to who it was but we won't call them out because they wanted to remain anonymous. After the presents were opened and put away we went to lunch with Peter's Dad and then came home for a nap. It was a nice and relaxing day and we all got lots of sleep but that didn't stop us from going to bed early.
