Santa came to our house!

Before we left for our road trips, we made sure to leave reindeer food for Santa's reindeer.

While we were on the road, Santa made a quick stop at our house... although, it couldn't have been too quick with all the packages he had to haul in! 

When we got home, Neela and Kylie could not wait to get in the house to see if Santa really did come....
Neela figures out Santa stopped

Neela finds her presents
Kylie figures out Santa stopped - with an excited Neela looking on!
Both big girls told Mommy, "Santa left us a 'load'".  They were both thrilled to just sit by the pile of presents, but even more excited when we started opening!

Neela picks her first gift
At the top of Neela's list (and somewhere on Kylie's list) was a Doodle Bear - a bear you can color on with special markers, wash, and color again.  Santa must have thought this sounded like a lot of fun, because Neela, Kylie and Brooke all got Doodle Bears!


All three girls received a few similar presents, and some unique for them.  Kylie and Neela received quite a few Lalaloopsy dolls (full-size, minis, and playsets) and board games.  Brooke received a dress-up Minnie Mouse and a Little People airplane.  All 3 girls opened projection flashlights, DVDs, and games for their LeapFrogs.

Each girl also had one "special" gift from Santa...
 
Kylie opens her fire truck
Neela opens her Talking Pony (it tells stories and sings songs!)
Brooke's pirate ship
Even though the girls did not get their Magic Dream Castle, they were pretty happy with their presents!  They miss Jerome, but he'll be back next year :-)
