We rose early, even though we went to bed late. The girls were excited just to see if Santa came. Once Sydney got out of her bed, she knew. Was is the candy cane path from her room and Hailey's room to the Christmas tree or maybe the bites taken out of the cookie that was left for Santa? Well, maybe the combination. Hailey joined Sydney picking up the candy canes, one by one, and then then their eyes just lit up, they were the size of golf balls when they saw the gifts by the tree. Hailey said "ooohhh!" and Sydney said "wow, I mush have been good!" Such an amazing feeling as a parent. We did good. Sydney saw her stocking filled to the brim and all the presents wrapped in Princess paper, which Santa left for her, including the Santa sack with her name on it and one for Hailey too, of course. Hailey liked her stocking stuffers, especially the slinky. She loved the Mickey Mouse wrapping paper on the gifts Santa left her, but really could care less about opening them. Sydney ripped into her gifts one by one, but it was the "Sleeping Beauty brush your hair" that topped it off for her! That was the ONLY gift she asked Santa for. Hailey enjoyed playing with the Mickey & Friends ladder by the Christmas Tree, again, she was perfectly happy with looking at her gifts with the Mickey Mouse wrapping paper. Sydney helped her open her gifts and she immediately started playing with the Mickey Mouse Lego set she got. The girls were really excited and thankful for all the gifts Santa gave them. Good Ol' Santa came through!
