It was wonderful not having to travel Christmas Eve-Ashlyn and I headed to the store that morning to get a few ingredients to make some more cookies for Santas. After naps we baked cookies and started dinner before heading to church for candlelight services. The kids did so good during service and Ashlyn even held her own candle-she was so proud of herself. After church we came home and had dinner then let the kids open some gifts from mommy and daddy. We had to be up early Christmas morning to head to my parents house for presents and brunch so thought it might be nice to let them open a few the night before so we could enjoy some time with them playing with their new stuff. Next year when Brody is more excited about Santa we will probably wait and open gifts Christmas morning.
I love this picture-Brody looks like he is saying "What's Up with my Sissy?
Brody loves to lay on his belly and rock back-n-forth
Brody likes to take his time opening presents but sissy insists she step in and help him!!
Serious business!
She was super excited about her new purse
Brody loves to stand on Thomas-actually he loves to stand on EVERYTHING!!
This was favorite gift #2-seriously at dinner the other night we asked her what her favorite gift was this Christmas and she said her purse and lipgloss-even though she had been telling Santa for months she wanted a kitchen this was her favorite-Go Figure!!
She LOVES puzzles right now and got a lot of new ones for Christmas
Here she is in all her glory-she has on her new boots, got her new bitty baby diaper bag, purse, headband and of course some lip gloss. All ready to go outside to put out some reindeer food.
She was so worried they wouldn't be able to find it so she wanted to put it by the snowman so they could see it:)
The kids were then ready for bed so Santa could come!!!
