the season of giving

I know that it is getting a little late for Christmas pictures, but we have been having issues with our computer, and I just had to share these.

For Christmas this year, the girls decided they wanted to get each other a Christmas present. They each chose the gift to give, they each went with me to get the present, they wrapped the presents themselves, and even made cards for each other. On Christmas morning, they were SO excited about giving these presents they insisted that they be the first ones opened.

Look how excited Abby is about Emma opening her gift!


And Emma is equally excited about opening it..(it is a newer book called 'The Dork Diaries')


They each wrote some really sweet things about each other in the cards they made:


And Abby was thrilled about her gift from Emma-The Wizards of Waverley Place Movie


I love it when this time of year brings out the best in people. This 5 minutes at the beginning of the morning was the highlight of my day!
