Christmas Photos Part II





Here are the rest of the photos from Christmas. The girls were supposed to come into our room when they woke up, but I could here them outside our door saying all the things they saw. I quickly ushered them into our room until we were all ready to go and I could get my camera ready.

The best part of Christmas morning was letting the kids open their gifts and play with each gift. Usually we are with so many cousins and aunt and uncles that the kids open a gift and then everyone has to wait while we watch everyone open gifts. The kids don't get to play with gifts until it is all over with.

But this year, the kids opened a gift and then opened it out of its packaging and played for a bit. I loved it. It was fun to see them play and enjoy and have fun. It meant it took awhile for us to finish, but that is okay. Christmas can last all day.

The gifts Hananh asked for this year from Santa (and got) were a unicorn pillow pet, glow in the dark silly bands and a Baby Alive doll.

Ella didn't ask for anything, but her big gifts were a Disney Princess Castle, a penguin pillow pet and Tinkerbell figurines.

Jake had a Toy Story christmas. He got a lot of Toy Story items. He has loved them almost since birth. He got a figurines set and has been carrying Buzz, Jessie and Woody around every day since Christmas morning. We don't go anywhere with out them. He even sleeps with them. He knows them all by name. And whenever he sees Buzz he says "ee ee ee an eeyon!" which translated means "to infinity and beyond!"

It was a great Christmas. Now onto planning Ella's birthday party and valentine's day.

It could either be a really fun thing to see Elsie and Jake play with all the Toy Story things together or a totally sharing disaster. I love that picture of Hannah with her Alice doll, so angelic!

Hi! This is a totally random thing... I was on sugardoodle and saw the idea that you had posted for new beginnings, the kick-off theme. We LOVED it and have decided to use the same idea this year. I was wondering it I could get a copy of the ticket and the jeopardy questions (if you still have them). I realized that the post was done a couple years ago, and didn't know if you still receive the comments posted on sugardoodle. Anyway, I found this link to your blog... My email address is aimeetregeagle@hotmail.com. I would really love to get a copy of those items. Thanks!
