Christmas...
all the anticipation...
then ZIP! it's gone!
We all enjoyed the festivities here!
Christmas Eve day...
we baked ...
Santa likes peanut butter with Reece Pieces and brownies too.
Christmas Eve nite, we spent with Jon's family.
Oh the kids...
opened all kinds of goodies!
Henry...pretty funny this year.
Would unwrap a gift then want to run off to play with it.
Had no idea there were MORE gifts!
Had to keep coaxing him back to the tree!
And the grande finale...
My BIL Kyle really made the girls' evening...
Hours of labor...
handcrafted American Girl Doll wardrobes!
Had them waiting in the garage!
Yep, each girlie got one!
And they have been spending so much time in their rooms...
organizing and reorganizing them!
Christmas Eve...after a wonderful dinner and lotta gifts,
we all came home to get ready for Santa's visit!
And OH BOY! He sure did visit!
My girlies...ran into our room at 6:45am!
Couldn't wait!
Had to get lil Henry up!
Sweet boy had no idea, but knew to run to the tree!
Yep, Santa did good!
And I must have REALLY been a good girl this year...
look what hubs gifted me!
Love.Love.Love!
I promise you will see pix of me sporting it...
but this momma ran into a wall a few days ago...
have a nice black and blue lip...not so pretty!
My parents came over for Christmas lunch.
It was such a nice time with them!
Of course, more presents came with them!
My mom gifted Laney with a special Irish Barbie.
(My maiden name is Irish.)
Yes, BaBoo the elf left us, but heard that Irish Barbie was coming to live with us.
He left her a message though:
And my dad gifted Emily with a very special telescope!
(Ya, Papa...the dramatic CHEEEEESE!)
And Mom and Dad gifted us with a new popper and a yard of popcorn!
We've ditched the microwave kind...
all about a la natural!
Christmas night, we were back at Jon's parents' for dinner.
And yes, more gifts!
The big kahuna gift...
a toilet!
Ok, so Henry jumped on it right away.
Needed a drink,
must have been cramped with his feet in the pot,
then needed food, drink and friends.
People...cross your fingers here!
So, our Christmas is officially over.
We had a wonderful time with family.
We are so lucky.
The kids have really been enjoying.
Today...an all day dance party,
Toy Story mania,
Easy bake marathon,
telescope construction,
and my kind of exercise...XBox Kinect games!
We've had a lotta fun...
BUT...
the tree is now down and all Christmas decor inside and out are put away.
Why so soon?
Some little guy turns 3 tomorrow!
