We had a wonderful Christmas. The girls LOVED opening presents. Each of them excited to see what the other one received. Daddy was able to Skype with us as well and watch the whole gift opening experience. The girls had to show him each and every present. It melted my heart and made me want to cry. I wish he could have been there in person. I kept thinking back to last year when he opened up the coffee mug Ella had painted for him and the hug he gave to her. I know he misses his girls desperately and wants nothing more than to be home with us. Two out of the last three Christmases we have had to Skype with him. Next Christmas will be different though. He will be able to spoil them with all the hugs and kisses possible! Until then, we survived the day surrounded by family, gluttony, and lots of new toys to play with. Very grateful it's over though and looking VERY forward to starting a new year!

The girls got matching sparkly pink TOMS shoes and Madeline had to put hers on right away.
