ANGEL Rylee Jo could not have been any cuter!
She loved this angel dress SO MUCH, she wore it for DAYS:)
Christmas Eve:
Rylee learned that Santa likes to eat cookies! So, she often pretended to be Santa Clause (while me & Milly were her reindeer) at meal time, and would tell me things such as- "No, YOU better eat that 'reindeer' breakfast, and I'LL eat some milk & cookies". Ha ha ha:)
Here we are hard at work, making Santa some delicious cookies:

TO SANTA:
On our special new Santa plate, and the cup Rylee picked out. (Don't worry, Rylee was concerned as to what Santa's reindeer ate, so when she sat on his lap she asked him!)

Christmas Morning:
The excitement was AWESOME, as we read the notes Santa had left behind... a letter for each of the girls with a guide to who's wrapping paper would be who's!
THANKS, SANTA!
The girls rushed straight to their stockings that were sitting on their new little chairs!
Milly mainly loved the candy, and that's about ALL she cared about the whole time:)
(i guess we shoulda' fed her first?)
Rylee Jo was THRILLED to have gotten her "Baby Doll & Dress" she had her heart set on for so long.
It was exactly what she had asked for when she marched right up to Santa in the Mall, sat on his lap and whispered in his ear! Milly loved the look-alike Cabbage Patch Doll too.
Christmas with the Ralph cousins:
