I love how bewildered she is in this photo below. I've got to say this...three times this Christmas, Violet received disappointment. Disappointment meaning she either got gifts she didn't like or no gifts at all. All three times, she was gracious as could be.
After we opened gifts yesterday morning she said, "You know what? I didn't get my EasyBake Oven, but I got all of this other stuff. And this other stuff is even better. It's great. Thank you."
She's four and she's awesome (and she also got the EasyBake Oven later in the day - wait for it).
This is the first gift of the day that makes me tear up. Violet loves the movie "Anastasia." She constantly asks if she can pretend that her necklaces say, "Together in Paris," like the necklace Anastasia's Grandmother gives her in the movie.
Thanks to her amazing Daddy, Violet now has her own locket that says, "Together in Paris." Complete with a family photo. It is beyond sweet.
The most amusing gift I received: An umbrella tooth pick, so I can "stab my food all the time." Nice. I also like David photobombing us here with a sneak hug on his Sister.
The most annoying gift I got (because it still makes me blubber as I think about it): Dave took my favorite pieces of art that the kids have created, he scanned them, scaled them down, printed them, decoupaged them into silver charms and used resin epoxy to seal them. They are beautiful.
I don't typically say sappy stuff like this, but I'm going to treasure them forever. They are beautiful.

I bet I can guess one of the gifts she got that she didn't love!
