...but it's so hard to sleep knowing you might wake up to this...
{after sprinkling reindeer food outside...}
{and leaving cookies and chocolate milk out for Santa, of course!}
Alex has asked Santa for two years...and he must have been awfully good this year to finally get these...
No question...his favorite gift!
...followed by this...
{which looks like trouble to me!}
Emily was so excited to see a camper for her dolls and animals when she came downstairs!
{we decided it may need its own parking spot in the garage!}
And she's had a ball scooting all around the house on her new scooter...
...playing with her new Barbies...
...and taking a big donut break...
She was so thrilled to get this, ha!
Elizabeth was happy to get a few little surprises too...
It has been a fun Christmas!
Especially when we get to spend it with our 3 most precious loves...
We can't leave out our traditional family Christmas Eve either! It's hard to believe how big the kids get every year!
The cousins don't see each other as much now that they're all in school and so many activities...so they enjoy this time of year!
...and getting presents sure makes it lots of fun, too!
{Alex got a telescope...I guess in all the fun, I forgot to get his picture...darn!}
Elizabeth slept the whole time...but I think she loved all the attention she was getting!
I just can't believe another Christmas has passed already...sigh...but we'll always have these wonderful memories!
Hope you have a Happy New Year too! I'm sure I'll be up celebrating with Elizabeth this year!
Sounds like a full holiday...a very blessed one. Remember the little people when Alex is a big rock star :)
ReplyDeleteAll of the pictures show a beautiful day... but that sleeping Elizabeth is too precious for words.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from My House to Yours!
Oh my goodness - is 5:30 AM what I have to look forward to when the kids get older?! I think we were just finishing up assembling things around that time :) You captured some great photos this year that I am sure you will treasure forever! I love the one of the girls and their AG dolls. I thought about getting my 2 year old one this year but I know I'm jumping the gun! We got her Bitty Baby last Christmas and she was obviously too young for it so I'm trying to learn from that lesson ;) You look fabulous and Elizabeth is just too cute for words! Wishing you and your family a fabulous 2011!
ReplyDeleteis that the Lanie camper?! OMG my daughter wanted that SO bad! (she got Lanie American girl in August for her birthday) But when i went to order the camper it was sold out :(
ReplyDeleteAND my son got a drum set! (great minds think alike!)
MERRY CHRISTMAS :)
Definitely looks like a fun day!! 5:30! WOW! :) And it looks like holding Elizabeth was a favorite activity during your family get together. Is your basement sound-proof? :)
ReplyDeleteOh my our kids slept in this year until atleast 6:30. We were so excited. LOL last year it was 5am
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day. Love the camper and the drum set.
We got an american itty baby this Christmas.
Hope you have a happy new year too!
We were up at 5:50 on Christmas morning. IT was a LONG day for us! I love all the fun pics you took...what a great day you guys had!
