Merry Christmas! We've spread out the holiday celebrations over several days and we still have more to go! Aunt Jessica came to spend the night on Dec. 23. Christmas Eve was spent at Shawn's church service and last minute holiday preparations. The girls were so anxious about Santa Claus and the reindeer coming, that they didn't fall asleep until almost midnight. They were so excited to wake up and see what presents Santa had left for them.
On Christmas morning, the girls found half eaten cookies and milk that Santa enjoyed and discovered that reindeer really like carrots and corn. They had a great time opening presents and absolutely love their big surprise - a princess jeep complete with a working radio! They wasted no time in cruising around the yard and over to Franny's house. For the most part, Emily lets her sister drive as long as she gets to work the radio.
Christmas morning was spent at Franny's house with a great breakfast that everyone helped make - Uncle Patrick, Franny and Ken, Aunt Kitty and Gary and even dad made something. Christmas afternoon was spent at Grandma and Pawpaw's house with dinner and presents and playing with cousins Brandon and Jacob. The next day, we had Christmas at Franny's house with Uncle Patrick and Aunt Colleen. More presents were had - needless to say, the girls got tons of stuff - way too much. The toys are spread out all over the living room. They've had a great holiday and we're glad for the time we've been able to spend together as a family.
