Opening presents was such a fun thing this year! Claire was excited about all of her gifts and really got into opening them. I loved watching the joy on her face as she opened gifts that she had asked for!
She has been asking for this game "Once Upon a Monster" for the kinect since she played the demo with her daddy a few months ago. She was very excited to get this game!
LaLaLoopsy...This doll caused a bit of a panic for us. We had never heard of this doll until Claire asked for one. We saw tons of commercials for them and saw them at Walmart so we didn't think it would be too hard to find one. However, Claire wanted the princess Lalaloopsy doll - Jewel Sparkles - which apparently every other girl in America wanted as well. We could not find her anywhere. We ended up buying the last ballerina Lalaloopsy at Walmart just in case we couldn't find it by Christmas. On ebay they were going for around $60 to $70 and we were not about to pay that for a $19 doll! Thanksgiving day my dad did a quick search on amazon and found a Jewel Sparkle doll for $24 free shipping and tax free! We bought it on the spot and it arrived at my parents house that next Monday!!! Every time we went into Walmart Claire would look for Jewel Sparkle and would be very sad that they were sold out :) we knew she had one wrapped under our tree!!
Michael had a Grover doll like this growing up and when we found this back in October Michael knew Cole had to have one as well. Cole is so sweet with Grover. He gives him drinks from his sippy cup and even shares his paci with him!
This is my favorite picture! I am so happy I caught the excitement on her face! She opened up her Barbie Fairy Secret doll and was very excited about it!
