Poesy was NOT ready to wake up. Sister said it was time, though! ;)
Favorite stocking prize? Banana. Hands down.
Santa loved the cookies so much he had to leave a note!
Hope made her daddy a very special present this year. He was absolutely touched.
Mommy was sneaky and got a few EXTRA presents this year! Socker Boppers for Johnny and Hope:
And matching vintage Izod sweaters because I just couldn't help myself:
For being such a good boy, Johnny got a special book of our family:
Katie got the vintage hat she was wishing for:
And Hope got:
A TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD!!!
Poesy got lots of fun things, but was only interested in Sister's new
Lalaloopy baby.
After presents we had Christmas pancakes, and then Poe and mama both had a long nap. That night we dressed in our Christmas pretties. This is the only picture that exists as proof that we were ever dressed that day:
As you can see, Poesy had already shed her pretty dress. ;)
Annnndddddd, even though you didn't ask, here are a few more tidbits from our day:
(Hope and I made all new stockings for our family this year.)
The only not-so-great thing that happened on Christmas was that my brother smashed into my car while backing up. I know he felt horrible, but I hope he at least learned a lesson-- don't stomp on the gas pedal while you are backing up, little brother!
I hope your holiday was perfection (minus one or two things) as well! ;)
xoxo Katie
Absolutely the most adorable family. Its nice to see homemade gifts given. Most people these days just try to drop a bunch of cash and don't put to much thought in it! Thanks for being a inspration and rolemodel for moms out there!
