The next morning, we left to have Christmas Day with Dana's family in Virginia. We had a grand time, all of our kids rediscovered stairs and got a kick out of figuring out different ways to come down them---baby Z included!
Dana took the kids out often for four wheeler rides and hikes through the woods.
For most of our time there, the weather was chilly. Perfect weather for Santa to come!!! The kids got a lot of great things, but the one thing that all the children liked was the gift given to their cousin. Christmas morning, A (the Virginia cousin) woke up to cute little sounds and discovered a puppy under his tree. A PUPPY!!!
WOW!They named her Shiloh. And when MG saw her, she was so happy and at the same time she just couldn't believe it. Later she told G-G (Dana's mom), "I can't believe A got a puppy! He is so lucky! My parents won't let us have a puppy or kitten or hamster or ANYTHING!! But A's parents got him one!"
"Welllll," G-G clarified, "his parents didn't get it for him...Santa did!"
"WHAT?!!?" MG asked with excitement. "Santa!!??!! You mean to say that you can ASK SANTA for a puppy?!!? hmmm..." and she thought for a few seconds. "Yes! Now I know what to ask for next year!"
