To borrow the name from my friend Natalie, we had ourselves a “fake Christmas” before we left for DC. We definitely wanted to save space by not bringing any presents from “us” on the trip, but thought they may like a thing or two they were getting.

It really turned out well.

In their “Christmas Eve” jammies from Grammie, waiting for the fun to begin.

Most asked for: Thomas and Friends

A rock collection from Gigi and Grandpapa

Plus, he loved his boots!

Paper Jams–Drums. He’s a pretty good little rocker.

Cowgirl in training

She's a shoe girl. Oh My!

The destruction. People were way too generous!

I just like this one …

When I asked Britton what he wanted to get for Kaia he said a pink car. Never changed his mind. This one even goes on its own! She LOVES it!

It was a fun night, and I’m glad we did it before our trip instead of after. Happy Fake Christmas!
