Christmas, Christmas....

I think the most fun thing about Christmas this year is the fun the girls have had picking out gifts for their friends. We have had so much fun getting together with friends and family to share in some special time together. We are so very blessed.

 

Here the girls are opening gifts with the Weavers!

 

And just for fun and practice, you know read the tag first, say thank you, we opened one gift early. Natalie picked a movie and Julia got dress up shoes.

Sporting her new shoes.

Jeff and his girls clowning around.

The girls love the robes my dad sent them. Here they are twirling in them, one of their favorite things to do!

We have this head massager and the girls love it. It literally puts Julia in a trance.  I love this photo of her.

Sunday night we opened up gifts with Pa Pa Don and Suzanne. The girls wore their fluffy dresses and were excited. Natalie was excited for most of the night, Julia left hers on for about thirty minutes.

Opening gifts!

Playing with new puzzles!

Opening more gifts!

To be continued......More Christmas to come!!!

SNOW!

The girls finally got to open some gifts! They have been eying the ones under the tree and today they got to exchange gifts with their dearest friends. We celebrated at Abbie's house where her mom had put together tons of goodies, including fondue. The girls loved it and they even got to have some root beer.

Julia loves root beer. Not sure she even took a breath.

The"big" girls

This photo was taken in 2010.

And this was this year. Man, time goes by too fast!

Natalie got headbands and she was in heaven.

And Julia got two Minnie Mouses' which she kept calling her best friends. She was in heaven too.

Playing Abbies game.

And when we got home their were presents from Pa Pa James!

Beautiful matching dresses.

And I think it is safe to say that Natalie liked the Christmas gowns and robes.

Natalie couldn't wait to show her's off and Julia wanted to wear hers as a cape. Go figure.

Adorable in their robes.

On the 20th it finally snowed. Well, a little, but you could see it and it hung around for most of the day.

Julia mad that we aren't all ready to go when she is.

And we are out, looking for snow.

Found it in the backyard.

And after about, oh, three minutes, we have the, "I am cold and I want to go in" faces.

But before we went in, they decided to do some snow angels.

Peppermint hot chocolate makes it all better.
