aly, nikki & dani made some cookies for santa. aly did a big sneeze on a few of them so we marked them with some green sprinkles so we could remember which ones were aly's 'special' cookies.
we listened carefully for santa and soon heard him say HOHOHO and heard his jingle bells. we ran out onto the balcony and he'd left a HUGE basket of presents - lots for aly, lots for toby and a set of car keys for a very lucky dani! it took dani at least 5 minutes to truly believe she was the owner of her new car.

nikki received a model of her room makeover from the whole family.

aly was really good on her new skates and managed to skate from one end of the room to the other. toby even had a turn.
