So like most kids, Gabriella finally understood the whole Santa concept, and really loved the idea of him coming and bringing her presents… the strange thing about today was that i think she liked the presents that mom and dad got her more than “Santa”… Don’t get me wrong, she LOVES her doll house, but every time she opened a gift from us, she would go over and hug her dad and tell him ” Thank you dad, i love it…” She was good with our presents, but was way overwhelmed the rest of the day. It was hard to concentrate, all she wanted to do was open them, i don’t even know if she knows what she got? Alyssa, of course didn’t really understand Christmas, out of all the gifts she got, she LOVES her play ball, i was on the phone and all of a sudden i heard all this yelling, Alyssa was so mad cause Gabriella kept trying to steal her ball… Ive never seen her so mad! But of course they would be fighting over the $2 playball I find it very difficult though to juggle 2 family’s on the holidays… Today was especially hard since my mom decided to change her time on me. I try to clarify times in advance, then she decided to tell me at 5pm last night that she wanted us to come earlier, which is especially difficult when i already have plans… I wish sometimes people would realize how hard life is with 2 young kids…

Dana had her family over to exchange gifts between the kids… It made it more special. You should hear how loud 3 girls can be when they are all playing on 1 piano…

We went to see Sara’s 1st home today, its really a nice townhouse! Gabriella had a good time and now her neighbors are probably worried since Gabby made so much noise!

It was a busy day, we had the playgroup annual xmas party today. It went well and was pretty organized, we acutally got to see what each kid received since we made them take turns, oldest to youngest?
