Wow we have had a wonderful Christmas this year. The girls were so excited this year and I think they got everything they asked for. Christmas Eve we spent with at Mema and Pop's. We had lots of good food and of course the girls got lots of great presents. After that we went home to get ready for Santa. The girls took a bath, made cookies for Santa, put the Santa Key the door, since we had a fire, and I read them "Twas the night before Christmas". They were fast asleep by 8pm and Santa arrived about 9pm and finally finished up at 1am. I was like a little kid again, I could not go to sleep anticipating their reaction when they got up. I woke up at 5am and waited patiently until it was 7am to wake them up. Mark and I got up, he got the video camera ready and I went to wake up the sleeping beauties. Well they were not as excited about getting up on Christmas morning as I was. Gracie cried and Hayden was trying to figure out what was going on. You can tell on the video camera they weren't very excited, they were just trying to wake up. They did start getting exciting once they realized everything they had under the tree. They were both definitely pleased with their doll houses and I am pretty sure their new tent was the next favorite thing. Hayden loved her leapster, she now takes it everywhere she goes and the game she likes the best is learning to write her letters, can't go wrong with that!
After they played for a little while we got ready to go to Grandmama's house for Christmas breakfast, which my husband makes the best omelets in the world! Then we went to Mimi and Pop's house to open more presents. Needless to say Hayden and Gracie had lots of presents and they were excited about all of them. Mark and I also had a great Christmas...He got his knife and I got a new laptop and printer! We also got some really great gifts from Mimi and Pop. I got a new swing, and now I can't wait for it to be Spring where I can enjoy it! Aunt Kim and Uncle Artie gave the girls some guitars and microphone and let me just say one day they may be famous with those beautiful voices they have! We had a great Christmas and we love all of our family very much!!!
Here are some pictures of what Santa left and Christmas and there are even a few from the snow on Christmas Day!
