Mother Daughter Christmas Tea

Here are the pictures I promised you from the Christmas Tea. I took Elissa with me so she could help with the girls and I know I couldn't have done it without her. Thanks Elissa! It was exhausting. I hope next year will be easier. But it is worth it to let the girls experience different things. I want them to experience things I never did. Isn't that what we all want for our children?
I love the one photo of the girls looking out the door because they have seen Santa outside. Well, Presley once again sat in Santa's lap but Brooke wouldn't, so Santa had them sit in a chair together and he stood by them so I could get their picture together. Santa was on top of it.
The picture of the girls and I was the best we could do. That was a disaster. Right before that picture, we were outside and Brooke walked across Mrs. Polly's pool cover and her shoes and tights were soaking wet. I guess, to little kids it looks like ground they can walk on, but they don't realize until it happens that you can still get wet. Needless to say as soon as we got inside Brooke wanted her shoes and tights off. So if you notice in the pictures that Brooke is barefoot, that is why. All in all it was still a fun time with my children. I didn't get to visit with anyone but I have the memories and pictures with my children.
