Santa came, Santa came!!
It was a very Merry Christmas here at the Rousehouse.
We are blessed with 3 beautiful, active girls.
All of them are at a great age to celebrate the holiday.
They're old enough to appreciate their gifts and
the real reason for the holiday, and they're still
young enough to really enjoy the ... presents!!
Santa brought Jack a great Christmas shirt.
"Thanks a lot Santa!"
Waukee Warrior bags with Walnut Creek towels in them!
Sisterly love~Ella gave Claire a personalized ornament
Claire had to start organizing her loot right away~

It was a great Christmas this year. Yes, the stuff was great.
Lots of presents, lots of wrapping, lots of wishes granted.
But it was also great in another way. Lots of gratitude.
Everyone was happy and appreciative with each other.
There were no cries of "not fair" or "I didn't get that" or
"that's not what I wanted!"
Everyone enjoyed each other.
It was fun to watch the girls, so excited to hand out their presents.
They took such pride in thinking of others this year.
Once the wrapping was cleared and boxes thrown out,
I can say it was a very merry Christmas indeed!
Praise God on this most wonderful day and Thank God
for another great year!
