Sweet Olivia

Christmas Eve we had the McManemins over for dinner. The kids made the fun crafts Mrs. Linda gave us

Santa came!

He brought two purple Micro scooter

Sweet story: we had some Singapore dollars left over after our trip. In the airport, I told the girls they could each buy one small thing at a toy store. They both really wanted to get a Palace Pet. We didn't have enough money for them to each get one. So, they had to agree on one. Eliza conceded and let Olivia get the one that she really wanted. Olivia later recognized what a sweet thing Eliza had done and she really wanted to get Eliza the other Palace Pets that she had really wanted for Christmas. Here they are!
