Hi Friends!
Hopefully everyone is having a merry merry Christmas!
We started our Christmas celebrations at my aunt's house. Before we left I told Leah to "model" for me. This was the best I could get. She was so silly at the party, letting the boys throw her, flip her (playfully) but definitely not a girly girl.
Turtle cake! It is so so good. I always forget to take a picture beforehand. This cake is always gone by the night with any family celebration. We had soo much food. It was all very good too. My mom and her sisters are always so good at hosting and preparing the food. The aunt that hosted-every time you come to her house she HAS to feed you. She is soo so caring in all aspects. Not everyone is like that and I tell her you have a "rare" gift. She always makes sure to send you home with a candy bar, or piece of cake or we were at the mall and she got me the Express lip gloss. As I say: its the little things. You'd know what I mean if you knew her :)
I hope one day I am as close with my sisters as my mom is with hers. This year my aunt basically did not let my mom host it because she did not want it to be hard for us with all the kids and such. So sweet.
After my aunt's house we came home for present opening. This is just a glimpse of the chaos. This year I refused to wrap gifts. I am becoming bold in saying no ;) Lena took over though. I keep telling my parents to get everyone less gifts. Leah definitely got some fun girly stuff. A princess castle to sit in. A doll set. A dress. A dress up "princess" dress. A LOT of stuff for her toy kitchen and a cash register.
This week is fun-filling New Years preparations!
Blessings,
Lesya
