Christmas

Oh yes, Santa came this year! And boy did he spoil some kids!
The girls were so fun with Christmas this year.
 
We had some fun with the Elf on the Shelf
He worked out really well in keeping the girls right on track!
 
Waiting in line to see Santa
 
 
Abby loved Santa up until the time she was about to sit on his lap. We ended up doing a family photo just so I could get a picture of the two of them together.
 
 
 
Of course we had to start the tradition of opening ONE present on Christmas Eve. And of course it has to be jammies. But I also made sure the girls got a little something extra. Webkinz. When we went to Gardner Village one night they each found a Webkinz they really liked, but of course mom wouldn't buy. At least not at that time. Anna got a fuzzy owl and Abby of course got a horse.


Getting Santa's milk and cookies ready

Putting Santa's magic key on the door. That's what you do when you don't have a fireplace. You give Santa a key!

Christmas morning brunch at my moms. Most of the grandkids were there at the same time. It's been a while since that has happened!

 We got to Skype with my nephew Andy who is stationed in Hawaii


Overall we had a great Christmas!
