On Christmas Day, the girls woke up at their normal 7AM time, to find that Santa had visited. Since we had church at 9AM, they only opened their stockings. They didn't complain about not opening presents, but that could have had something to do with the fact that Santa left them their favorite cereals so they went straight to eating.
After a wonderful church service, we returned home. Mémé came into town for Christmas week, too, which was a special treat.
Before opening gifts, we role-played the events leading up to the Savior's birth. Gabby was Mary. Claire quickly quit the life as a shepherd and decided to be an angel.
At last - the gifts! Complete with video calls with grandparents.
It was a great Christmas, but the girls already miss Mémé.
