Christmas #1- Spotsylvania, VA

Christmas #1 started off with a surprise visit from Santa!!! The girls woke up, walked downstairs like it was a normal morning, only to find it was anything but! There were presents scattered under the tree and Miss Twinkle was there with a special note to the girls. The note said that since the girls were so good this year that Santa decided to come a little early, but not to worry, because he would be coming back again on Christmas day to their Nana and PopPop's house! They were literally shocked and on cloud nine! Jimmy and I just sat in awe as we watched them open their presents and truly love and be grateful for everything they got. They were so good at taking turns and helping each other. Christmas is such an amazing time and we were reminded once again just how blessed we are to have our beautiful daughters in our lives.  Merry
Christmas #1!
