Christmas - An All Day Affair

We began early and ended late.  The girls were up by 7 (late I know for some kids but early enough for me).  Alaina was so excited she didn't know what to do.  Santa had been to our house and left two giant bags of presents for each of the girls; they had been good this year - listening and obeying their parents, using their manners, and tinkling in the potty!!

Alaina loved her new kaleidoscope

Ms. Addie discovered she loves peppermint!

We enjoyed giving and receiving presents.  Ooohhh la la - new cowgirl boots for me!  Dad is dawning his new running jacket.  I love his smile - Addie Jane has the same exact smile! 

Tender moments between Emily Ann and Addie Jane (and Lilly the frog too!).

Alaina playing with Angelina Ballerina.

 Amazing wrapping job. Dad was surprised that we gave him the helicopter he had his eye on!

Alaina was playing with her new kitchen pot on her own in the kitchen.  When we looked in on her she had on Papa's hat.  It was so darling.  We asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm Papa-Man!".

Pete and Emily Ann laughing hysterically at "Papa-Man"

Mom was busy as a bee all day - cleaning up wrapping paper, handing out gifts, and lovin' on the girls!
