Christmas-ish Morning

We're getting on a plane Christmas morning and aren't sure that Santa's going to know where we're going, so Mommy arranged it to have Santa come visit us early since we were SO very good this year. After finishing the gingerbread house, Gavin and I each got to open one gift from under the tree.

BLING!

I feel like a real-life princess

Then Gavin and I ran around the house giving Mommy and Daddy a hard-time while trying to change us into our holiday PJs.

You can change me if you can CATCH me!

Ready for you, Santa!

Right before bedtime, I made sure I left something yummy for Santa to eat since he was making a trip out just to see me.

Special Christmas brownies since I'm sure he'll have enough cookies

I'm sure he likes his brownies crunchy, right?

The next morning, I popped out of bed wondering if he forgot to stop by! I have to admit, I was a little worried until I saw my brownies were gone.

Did he come?

I WAS good, and Santa brought me a yellow bike! I've been wanting a bike (a princess one with pedals) and he brought me a special yellow bike with princess stickers to put on myself. Not sure what happened to the pedals, but Daddy assures me this is even better. We immediately took it out for a spin in the cold.

Safety first!

Let's do this thing

We're off!

And ... done for the day.

Mommy and Daddy showed that it truly is the spirit of Christmas, and they made sure we still had our Christmas ... even if it wasn't December 25th.
