Our original Christmas dinner was foiled by the eight inch snow, so we gathered on the 27
th to enjoy a holiday with the Compare family. The girls got all sorts of wonderful gifts: bunnies, Disney figures from Tangled (the new Rapunzel movie), and even Kitty & Bunny,
Oma & Papa Calico Critters (but you'd be surprised at how excited Leia was over the new set of
lincoln logs)! Another
Oma & Papa tradition is to give a blown glass ornament to the girls, specially designed to represent one of their favorite activities of the year. This time, Leia Rose got a special "Cheer" megaphone to celebrate her
cheerleading joy (of the past year) and Annie got a school bus to celebrate her very first year of school. Leia's favorite gift was a VERY special, homemade by
Oma,
Immaculata school uniform for her American Girl doll!!! Auntie April and Uncle Ben joined us today, of course. (And I love that April's special Christmas print featuring our special Advent prayer is in the background of their picture.) And it was funny to end the night with Leia being so very interested in Brian scratching off his Christmas lottery tickets. Ha!
