"THE GIFT"

When you wake up tomorrow morning, Santa will have been here.

You've been such good girls.

Oh Yeah!  We've been SUCH good girls.
 

Mom & Dad think we are sleeping.  

HA!

We are having so much fun.

Oh, sis!   Look at our brand new, life-sized doll.
 

Wow, she is heavy.

We are going to make her BEAUTIFUL.

Oh, No!   Someone is coming.

Hurry ... we've got to get her back into the box.

Hurry ... back to bed.
