The newly decorated tree had a ton of presents for the girls for when they arrived. They dug through the stockings while I made a traditional Christmas dinner: handmade pizzas. Once they were done we started opening presents. Abby’s favorite gift was her oboe earrings that I gave her. Emily fell is love with the Furby and Izzy was tearing open her My Little Pony Castle the minute she ripped the wrapping paper off.

The girls’ friend, Leila, had a birthday part today and it was horseback riding. The girls were so excited and it was all they could talk about all weekend. Even though it was in the mid-90’s and hot outside, the girls had a lot of fun. They would have been exhausted if the goodie bags weren’t filled with candy and I was scraping them off the walls in the evening.
