Wonderful Christmas Day

Christmas morning started early with Kate coming downstairs at 5:50 and she tried to go back to sleep but ended up deciding to stay awake by 6:20.  Unfortunately she had to wait for Maggie to wake up before she could open any presents.  Maggie woke up around 7:00 and was ready to get the present-opening started.  

Present time!!!


Maggie received a new Princess Jasmine costume.

Kate received a lot of books this year including an Amelia Badelia book set and Roald Dahl book set.

Around 10:30 Gramma, Papa, Uncle Daniel, Auntie Jess and Baby Mckenna came over for brunch and more presents.

Mckenna wanted to try out Kate's lightsaber.

Daddy received an X-Wing Lego set from Gramma and Papa.

Kate made Gramma a very special calendar.

Maggie spent all day playing with her Peek-A-Boo kitty and Jasmine costume,

Maggie even played peek-a-boo with Mckenna.

The girls gave me Twister for Christmas so we played numerous times throughout day. Tons of fun!

It is a tradition in our house to bake and decorate a special Jesus birthday cake for Christmas dinner.  This year I made a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting...yummy!  The girls helped me decorate the cake with peanut butter M&M's.




For Christmas dinner we headed to Gramma and Papa's house.  We opened up more presents and the girls both received Superhero Barbie's.


Even Grandma and Grandpa Elliott joined in on the present exchange.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

We are so grateful to live close to Grandpa & Grandma and Gramma & Papa.  We love you!
It truly was a wonderful Christmas!  We are so blessed to have two amazing girls that are healthy and happy.  We are so blessed to have a warm and wonderful home to celebrate the holidays in.  We are so blessed to have so much love in our family!  We are looking forward to a new year filled with more fun adventures!
