We had to wake Emily, Hannah, and Claire up on Christmas morning at 7:00 so that we could get everything opened, everyone ready, and have everything packed and ready to go to Toccoa right after church.
It was a busy but wonderful morning. I have some sweet videos that I'll keep forever, but here are a few pictures of some of the girls' favorite gifts.
They were so excited about their new trampoline. It's a smaller one, but perfect for our size yard and our size kids.
Claire was slightly nervous and didn't stand up while the big girls were jumping....she stayed on her knees. She's since gotten over her uneasiness and is jumping right along with them....no surprise there.
Hannah is a big fan of her new (big) Minnie. Now she has a little Minnie and a big Minnie and she sleeps with both of them and carries them around everywhere.
Strawberry Shortcake is Claire's favorite show and has been for awhile. She also got a Strawberry Shortcake costume from one of Bert's aunts and it has been a big hit too.
Emily got an American Girl doll and named her Virginia (that's her friend Kayley's middle name and she likes it). It is precious to see how much she loves taking care of her little doll. She asked to take her outside and show her "the dark and the rain" and she even pointed out to her what different animals sound like. She gets her ready for bed each night and dressed in the morning. We're still having to help her get some of the clothes on, so it's kind of like we just got a 5th child, but Emily's so excited we can't complain.:)
Abby had a great Christmas morning too! She got some fun things, but especially loved playing on this box from one of Claire's gifts.
We really enjoyed getting to worship with our church family on Christmas day. It was a meaningful service and helped to keep the focus where it needs to be.
We got there a little early so that Bert could finish up a few things before the service started. I got this picture of the girls while we were waiting.
Merry Christmas from Team Watts!
