"mommy! look! sana on the tv!" rilynn excitedly points as santa comes on the cartoon their watching.

"i see! you know, santa's coming tonight to give you presents! do you think you've been a good girl?" i ask, wiping down the table from an amazing christmas eve dinner with billie's family.

"uh huh! i been good." she says, putting all her attention back to the screen.

"i sure hope so!" i giggle, knowing damn well that she's gonna be the happiest little girl on the face of the earth in the morning.

"billie my love, can you get her christmas eve present ready?" i ask as she cradles our 3 month old on the couch.

"of course, should i just put her in the swing?" billie stands up,

"you can! or put her in the bassinet, doesn't matter." i say, now washing off a plate in the sink.

"i'm just gonna put her in here," billie says, laying the baby down in the bassinet.

i hurry up and try to get everything all clean so i can enjoy this with my girls.

every year since i was very little, me and my siblings always got to open one gift before bed.

it was always the same thing, which was jammie's, but just a little taste of Christmas before the morning.

"okay, i think things are good now." i say, putting the rag in the sink.

i smile and walk into the living room, seeing just the most beautiful sight.

there's snow outside, a movie on the tv, the fireplace is lit, the Christmas tree is sparking with white lights, we have 2 beautiful little girls,

life is just good.

"okay girlfriend. you get one present before you gotta go up to your bed. c'mere," i say as she excitedly gets down off the couch and into my lap,

"here baby," billie hands her the cutely wrapped gift,

"i open it?" she looks up at me,

"go ahead!" we giggle, watching her start ripping and tearing the paper off the small box.

"mommy, tape!" she shouts as a string of tape is stuck to her little hand,

me and billie giggle, "oh that silly tape!" i gently pull it off her finger,

"look! waindeer!" she shouts as she holds up the small footie pajamas that has a cute little reindeer on it,

"yea! it's Rudolph! that's one of Santa's reindeer!" i say, holding them up for her to see better.

"can i has dem on me?" she asks, looking over at billie,
