A certain little girl in the house has wanted her own surfboard, sooooooo bad. I, the ever-charming mother, had convinced her that she would not be able to have one this year. Maybe this summer,
but not for Christmas.
So she opened all the gifts under the tree for her. . . nothing exciting. Fun, cute things, but not one "big gift". In her words, "I kept thinking maybe the next box is a digital camera or a Kindle Fire."
After all the gifts were opened I suggested the girls open the curtains for me. . .
There it was! Then she made these faces, that I am sure will melt my heart all the days of my life.
Quietly I begged, "Please, please no more growing up!"
Quietly I begged, "Please, please no more growing up!"
She quickly popped my bubble by saying, "Only like 9 more of these, before I'm off to college!" Can you hear the brakes of my heart screeching to a halt.
We spent the afternoon at our beach! Because for this year we have a place to call "our beach".
Daddy and I savored the sight .
In addition to the above moment: Shayli got a boogie board, which was behind the other curtain.
Colin found that Santa ate the cookies we set out for him. Casarah loved her Tinker Bell makeup set.
But still this is moment that stole my heart:
Christmas 2011, xoxxxoxxoxox! *sigh*
