Christmas Surprises

When we arrived home we were surprised to find homemade Christmas dresses for the girls, presents, and two boxes of food.
Sam passed out the presents this was actually a test to see if he knew who was who and he passed.
Aurora and her new stuffed lamb she named Fuzzy.
A story for this gift: A month before Christmas we were given a bag of baby toys (nothing we needed) but, Aurora had found a stuffed lamb she wanted to keep. I trying to avoid having to keep another stuffed animal ignored her love for the creature in hopes I could sneak it back into the bag while she wasn't playing with it.
Well, it went back in the bag and Stormie found it and claimed it for herself naming it Mammy. Aurora was upset and I not being the greatest mother I couldn't make a decision about who the lamb should belong to. It's hard to choose over your children. So I just let life happen.

And then one night I found Aurora sulking on her bed. She listed off a half dozen things that were bothering her one being that lamb. I made a mental note to get her a lamb of her own for Christmas and tucked her into bed. Well, it was a late night and I forgot about the lamb. But, you know our Heavenly Father didn't forget He still cares about His little lambs. And, using a secret Santa she got her stuffed lamb.
Everyone got a coloring book and crayons, a stuffed animal, and a doll.
A blue bear for Samuel Blue.
Thank You Secret Santa!
