Christmas at Grandma's

After opening the rest of the presents at our house, we went over to grandma's to be with family, eat a yummy feast and open yet more PRESENTS :) The girls were definitely in Christmas Heaven!

Always so full of smiles!

It was a very MERRY Christmas indeed!

After Daddy got home, the girls were finally able to open the rest of their presents and, boy, did they tear it up! It was so much fun watching them open their gifts and seeing the enjoyment on their faces. They were so happy with everything they got and couldn't wait to play with it all! Lily got a new collection of princess dolls and Alex got plenty of noisy things to annoy everyone with! They both made out like bandits!

Christmas Morning: Santa's Surprises!

Sadly, Daddy had to work Christmas morning :( So, to get the kids through the waiting to open presents until daddy gets home, we allowed the kids to have their surprises from Santa. Lily was ecstatic to see that Santa had eaten the cookies and milk she had left for him. I guess Santa thought that the girls had been good this year, because he sure spoiled them!!! Lily got a princess Ariel doll with horse and Alex got a brand new baby in a stroller. They were both so excited and thrilled! They each got a book and a princess dry erase board, not to mention a stocking full of candy and goodies! The best part was seeing how happy they were!

Christmas Eve (a little late)

I know that I am WAY behind on my postings! I am sooo sorry! I know that I have a lot of family who look forward to seeing the pictures, so again, I am sorry, but between this kid I am carrying and the four others I watch daily, I seem to never have the time or energy (when I do have the time) to catch up. All I want to do is be lazy and sleep and rest! I will try and be better though!!

So, anyway, this was Christmas Eve. That morning, while waiting for Daddy to come home from work, the girls and I made holly candy and made and frosted sugar cookies. Okay, not really made. Now that they have those pre-cut designs, it just makes things much simpler :) They girls really enjoyed piling on the frosting and sprinkles! What could be more fun?!

After Michael got home, we went over to my mom's house for some yummy Mexican dinner and the kids got to open up a couple of presents. Boy, were they excited! Alex loved the Tinkerbell doll she got from Grandpa Great and Lily loved the book she got from Grandma.
