Christmas, Christmas Time is Here

I repeatedly reassured the girls:

Santa can find a good girl anywhere.

And he did.

Kate got the Barbie Jet she has consistently asked for since September.

Kiki got the barn she has never once asked for.

I just knew she would love it.

Of course, when she was tearing through the paper opening it, she said (in the happiest voice ever), "It's a...It's a...It's a...I DON"T KNOW WHAT IT IS!"
When assembly was completed, she was thrilled.

We celebrated with the Hatch Clan.
Thanks to my crappy camera here is the one picture that turned out:
James, Tiff, and Hudson, it was YOUR lucky day.

Bruce took the girls out to the desert by his parents' house to show them where he played and played growing up.

It has been a fun holiday- we have spent lots of times with Bruce's siblings and their families, and now we have a few more days to relax until we make the long drive home.
