The Hits

I would say that the girls had a good Christmas.

They got some great gifts.

D loves her new zebra sheets from my Dad.

She is loving all things zebra right now.

So she also loves the stuffed zebra and the zebra lap desk that she got from Hubby & me.

E is loving the double Nerf swords that she got from Sissy.

She thinks that she is a ninja.

She also is loving the Firevision Nerf football set Grampa got her.

And they both love the lava lamps that I found at BJ's for them.

Another hit is the iHome clock radio that they can plug their iPod touches into for music and to charge.

Nephew J got them each a chemistry set.

We've been having fun playing with those and doing experiments.

Sissy and my Dad each got them other science/chemistry sets too.

Those most likely will be brought out over the next few days.

D also loves the Password Journal that I bought for her.

E loves it too and is planning on using some of her Christmas money from Nana to buy her own.

Another big hit was the PS3 that we got for the girls.

It was something that E really wanted.  Bad.

And her excitement opening it was fun to watch.

D&E have had a very good Christmas indeed.

And they are so thankful for everything they received.

Which makes it feel good to get them fun things.

One thing we all enjoyed tonight was some homemade vanilla ice cream.

I decided the girls would enjoy having an ice cream maker.

Hubby was skeptical.

This afternoon the girls and I prepped the makings for vanilla ice cream.

And tonight we made it, adding in mini chocolate chips at the end.

One word.

Delicious.

Hubby is no longer skeptical.

Spending the rest of the week cherishing the memories we are making with the girls.

They are growing way too fast for my liking.

potd #360.  Another hit.  The game of Risk.  So much fun.  We are all vying for world domination.  So far D is winning.  Her new nickname?  Napoleon.  Game to be continued tomorrow.
