After all the cookies were made....On the first day of Christmas, Aunt Julie came out bringing Lightening McQueen and Minnie Mouse gifts!!
Checking their texts on their new phones...
Then we went in to visit with the Paul side of the family....
Aliyah as "Super baby" she wears this like it's nothing.
Christmas Eve dinner at mom-mom's. (They hadn't gotten dressed all day and we were heading to church after dinner so didn't want to wear church clothes to eat in, if you were wondering they they're in PJ's)
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads...
Loved the lego table from Santa!
Love how they're both saying "ooohh"
What is better than a box of monster trucks!
Every time either of them opened a gift they had to get it out and play with it for a while before opening up another one, it took a while but nice they appreciate everything!
Love how she's already smiling and playing with it before I can get all the pieces out. Santa was so excited to give this to her!
Nate was on an ugly sweater kick this year....
Didn't take long to get his new tracks set up!
Then Grandpa and Grandma Diana came...
And Aunt Ellie, Uncle Josh, Emma & Luke (and mom-mom).
More gifts (yes, I had a C'mas outfit picked out for him but no he never took his Santa PJ's off all day, guess getting the money's worth on them.)
She LOVES this cat! It purs and walks and she goes crazy!!
Some assembly required.
She thinks she got a new bed.
The Browns stayed over so we took a trip to the mall and Bass pro on Monday.
Then later in the week we visited with some friends and stopped in to mom-mom mom-mom's for a while.
It was a wonderful Christmas full of lots of visits. We missed having some family around but so glad we got to see the rest. We have way too much stuff but got rid of some older stuff and rearranged their rooms and they're really enjoying it. We're so blessed to have had another wonderful year and we look forward to what 2012 has to offer!
