Merry Christmas- Part II

After their nap, the girls were able to really enjoy playing with some of their new toys and oh boy did they have a good time!

Make cupcakes and cakes with their moonsand cup-cake bakery set.

The Vanity and many accessories is a huge hit! The 'gurls' play with different toys and then are right back to the vanity. Clara Rose doing her hair in curlers.

One of Clara Rose's fave presents-- a fluffy pink My Little Pony with oodles of hair to brush and fix-up.

 One of Josie's fave presents-- a remote control 4-wheel truck!

 "Clara Rose, you need to watch out or I am going to run over your pony with my truck?"
(Notice the purple star magic wand also in her hand-- it is a real one you know!)

 "What?"

 The little Picaso's trying out their new easel and assorted painting supplies.

 Finally, the last few presents to open-- a couple more books.

 "Oh wow! A bouncy house!"

 After dinner-- a couple of Christmas treats found in their boots.

 "What time do you think I'm going to bed tonight?"

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas-- Part I: Christmas Morning

The 'Gurls' running into the living-room. They were a little nervous and had to bring most of their beddy-bye comforts with them.

A quick look on their table for something familar.

Yeah! New cups!

Next, something truly amazing-- a vanity with tons of beauty products made especially for them. Well, OK, not quite age-appropriate, but what is a few years?

A dolly with pink streaked hair and green ribbons!

Clara Rose had a great time beating the heck out of Bozo-- then read a little Dora . . .

Then gave Bozo a few more whacks!

Oh, look, I got a dolly too!

Gabrielle and Xavier checking out the loot in their Christmas Boots.

Gabrielle's big find-- a new lap top!

Do you think Clara Rose likes this puzzle?

Christmas Eve

The 'Gurls' tracking Santa flying over the Great Wall of China on Norad . . .

Dressed for a fun evening out at our fave Chinese Restraunt.

They can only contain themselves for so long-- it is Christmas Eve!

After dinner the kids sprinkled the yard with their many bags of majic Reighndeer Food.

Inside we enjoyed some yummy desserts and left an assortment out for Santa.

Ah, the majic of Santa late into the night to early in the morning.

Hey, who is that hiding behind Bozo?

Two Days to Christmas . . .

Oh my! Only TWO days until Christmas!?

Less than that really!

We've been busy filling our days with Christmas Cheer.

We hope you have been too!

Over the weeks we have-- decorated wooden gingerbread men.

Counted down the days to Christmas, one chocolate at time (for the most part)

with yummy Christmas calendars!

Played around in general-- the girls are pretty good at taking pictures with my camera.

We've gone out strolling in the Christmas moonlight looking at fun Holiday scenes.

Gone for rides on Christmas carousels.

 Baked a LOT of cookies-- this is only a small sample of them-- I haven't finished uploading my pictures!

Better get on it-- I'll likely have a couple hundred after Christmas Day!

May dancing sugar plums fill your heart with joy this Christmas Season!
