The Whole "Saddle" story

My sweet sister-in-law commented on my earlier post about the saddles and told me I need to tell the whole story. I know she's right, so here goes.
Santa put the saddles up on the rail by the loft. Kason spotted them first and let out a " Ohhhh!", pointing up at them. The girls looked but could care less. They opened some presents and then papa said "What are those up there?" Savannah replied,"Saddles" without any excitement at all. I'm thinkin, great, this is huge and they could care less. Papa: "Who are those for?" Savannah: "Papa,I'm sure they're for Uncle Dilly" (aka Dalon). We are all laughing now, asking them if they thimk Santa would bring pink and purple saddles for Uncle Dalon. They still could care less so we climed up and got them down for them. I guess it was the not being wrapped, but they just didn't care. Now they are getting pretty excited though. They keep asking when we can saddle up Pokey Joe, their donkey. We've gotta go get some cinches and then we can! So more fun pictures of that coming soon. Also, I'm sure these saddles will be a hit for years to come as I ordered them to fit until they are in their early teens! I love my girls.

I LOVE the saddles! As a little girl, I would have gone absolutely nuts over them! Your story reminded me of a similar christmas when my dad did side job after side job to get my little sister a brand new saddle only to get the same reaction you got from your girls! He was so bummed.

I think those saddles are awesome. Even Taryn would have loved them.
