On Christmas Eve, we planned a festive dinner with the grandparents. The girls set a colorful table.
And were delighted when Santa paid us an unexpected visit.
The Christmas cards, were finally mailed to friends near and dear.
The only gift my youngest requested, a desk.
Imagine her delight Christmas morning, when she discovered Santa had left one by our back door.
(A little vintage desk/vanity found at a yard sale).
So pleased to say, that each of the girls was happy this year.
As they get older and the gifts get more expensive, it's hard to maintain a 'simple' perspective. But, this year... it worked. They each received one thing they really wanted, and them some small things they needed and/or could wear. They really had the most fun shopping for gifts for each other, wrapping them just right, and then enjoying the reaction received. Gracie in particular, loves Christmas. She had the most fun for weeks accumulating just the right thing, and making the most beautiful cards.
And, we had a wonderful Christmas dinner at my brother and sister-in-law's house with most of the cousins. We're eagerly anticipating the arrival of the rest from Williamsburg. Can't wait.
What was your favorite part of Christmas this year?

So much cheer! I am so glad Rosie got her sweet desk. It's darling! I like the multifunctional part too - perfect for when she's a wee bit older.
Your table looked beautiful! Very fresh and inviting. I have to ask - was there anything in those cute little houses on the table?
Merry, Merry, Christmas!
Oh and my favorite part? Baby Bee adores the camera that santa brought for her and I love it too as long as I have the power to delete. LOL
I'm completely smitten with Rose's little vintage desk/vanity. It sounds like a perfect Christmas at your house. May you have a blessed 2012! It's been so much fun getting to know your family and your blog this year, Molly.
PS. The superheros have taken over Josie's Christmas dollhouse. I knew it was only a matter of time.

What a sweet desk, and the table looks so pretty!! It sounds like you and your family had a very blessed day. So did we. My favorite part was seeing the tender care my family gave to me the week before when I was so sick. It definitely put everything in perspective :)
Happy New Year!!
