We had the best Christmas ever this year. It was so nice to be in our own home and beds and not stressed out about traveling. Of course, me and the girls still got little colds, but other than that things went smoothly. We had a perfect Christmas Eve with long baths, treats, lots of stories, and acting out/reading the Nativity.
We made sure the stockings were ready and left out treats for Santa and then off to bed!
Luckily the girls fell asleep quickly and Lance and I got right to work. We had a big plan. Santa brought the girls bunk beds! We waited until they were dead asleep and then carried them into our bed. Then we assembled the beds in their room! It was a lot of work and we didn't finish until about 1 am.
Then we carried them back into their room to wake up with their new beds.
They still slept nice and late Christmas morning- I think until after 8, but they were so excited when they woke up! We told them the elves built the beds.
Santa also brought them a gymnastics bar, and of course their beloved music boxes.
And the big guy didn't leave Maddie out either! She got a giant elephant and a new carseat!
Peeking in her first stocking and opening her first present!
The girls got some wonderful gifts they were very excited about.
And we got a very very white Christmas! Went to bed with nothing on the ground and woke up to over 6 inches and it kept snowing most of the day! It was magical.
We had a short church meeting. It was a beautiful choir program (Lance sang) and the perfect way to celebrate the Savior's birth.
We ended the day with a yummy prime rib Christmas dinner and cheesecake and then an early bedtime (you can see the kids were a little grumpy from the excitement at this point).
It was an practically perfect quiet Christmas day.
