barbie-mania

so last year it was a disney princess christmas, this year it's barbie. but not bratz...oh no, tay will immediately say, "mama says their *naughty* girls!". which is true, that's what i say...even though she has requested them over and over again. tay had a great christmas! lots of toys and fun things. it was another marathon this year though. we started opening presents at 7am and it was still going on at 8:00 at night (had to take numerous breaks in between to ease tay's torture of seeing all these new toys and not being able to play with them because of being cajoled into opening the next present). thanks to everyone for their thoughtfulness and generosity with our christmas gifts! here is a picture of her letter to santa on the 13th and a few shots of opening presents on christmas morning:
