Christmas 2011!
Over the holiday weekend we were fortunate enough to entertain a few invites. We kicked off Christmas Eve with Auntie Bev and Grandma P for an early dinner The girls had a wonderful time and Maise got to sit all by herself in her own big girl seat at the table. The girls now have one of every art supply in the world thanks to Grandma P! We promise to make you lots of fun things to hang on the fridge...clear off some space! Maise twirled and swirled in love with her new ballet bag, shoes and skirt. Thank you Auntie Bev!
Later that night we went to Uncle C's for some more family fun and tasty treats! Tasty treats even made it to bed with Maise later in the evening when she refused to sleep with out the treats that she was told were hers. I put them in the fridge after she fell alseep, cuddled next to a plastic container as if it was a teddy bear. It was our 1st Christmas Eve with the twins and we all had a lot of fun. They were so cute in their little outfits playing with their big cousins. All the kids were all opening gifts together and it was so awesome. These guys are so cool together! Although I don't see us ever having as calm of a Christmas ever again...they will all be running around and bouncing off walls next year! Woo hoo!
We got home just before midnight in time to get the girls snuggly in bed. After they were asleep I prepared their stockings and set up their gifts. Some gifts they have seen wrapped and under the tree, as I wrap as I go, but the socks and the red packages from Santa were new. Christmas morning I could barely wait for the girls and Joe to wake up. When they did we had fun taking our time opening gifts and playing with each one. The girls loved everything and even shared. Nessa loved Maise's gifts and Maise loved Nessa's so they kind of had to share. Joe made a big breakfast for me and the girls and I made homemade Lasagna for dinner! We had a very Merry Christmas and hope you all did as well! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Wait, check out our pictures first:
