The Next Day

Since the last post had SO many pics I decided to split up the ‘opening gifts’ post. This year, L.L. definitely took more to opening them, but it was still a struggle to get through them all. She tends to open one and want to play with it, or read it right away. Getting through all of them took us a few tries.

They are all such wonderful gifts! What generous family and friends we have. xx
