American Girl stole the show this year, as far as gifts go. On Christmas eve, both girls received American Girl pajamas from Grandpa & Grandma W. Avery's pj's included a matching set for her doll! 
Both girls asked for an AG doll and held out hope that they would find one under the tree. Mom was tricky...I put the small presents under the tree and hid the dolls in the guest bedroom (the shape of the boxes would have given them away!). Their last presents under the tree were "accessories" for Mia & Nellie, the dolls they requested for Christmas. On the back of the presents was this note:
They ran to the guest bedroom and excitedly opened their new dolls. I was so proud of both of them... neither one showed any disappointment when they didn't see the dolls under the tree. They have been working on having an "attitude of gratitude" in all circumstances, and today they showed that so beautifully!
Mia and Nellie were welcomed into our family in an enthusiastic manner. They were the center of play all morning and both have a cozy bed in their new "mommy's" room. As Ella said when she opened Mia, "I never thought I would have an American Girl doll of my own!"
Awwww...
