Christmas Eve: We had a nice dinner with the Paris' and then made cookies and got ready for Santa! The girls love tracking Santa on the computer and were so excited to go to bed so that Santa would come. Buddy the elf has been having lots of fun this year appearing in different places around the house each day. This year on his last day he was zip lining from the fan to the tree so that he would be sure not to miss Santa Christmas Eve. We will miss you Buddy and can't wait till next year.
Santa came! Katie got a jewelry box w/earrings and a Lalaloopsy doll. Brielle got rollerblades and a Lalaloopsy doll. and Jessie got babyfood, binkis, and diapers from Santa.
Greg and I worked for weeks to make our present for the girls. We made them some doll furniture for their American Girl dolls. A couch and love seat with an ottoman, and bunk-beds. Greg designed the wood work and put it all together and then I sewed up the cushions, pillows, and blankets. It was a LOT of work but we got it done just in time. I think they turned out pretty cute :)
The girls embracing after exchanging sister gifts... I think they were happy! Brielle gave Katie a Wuggle pet kit (basically like a build a bear) and Katie gave Brielle a doggy purse. The girls gave Jessica a mini pillowpet.
Jessie enjoyed her very first Christmas. We basically wrapped up some toys from the playroom. She is really getting interested in toys and loves to grab at things and put them in her mouth.
Jessica tried her baby food for the first time. It was applesauce and she LOVED it. She was diving for the spoon and would get so mad when you took the spoon out of her mouth to get more. YUMMY!
Amy sent the girls these cute sleeping bags. They slept in them Christmas Eve, very cute!
My Mom and Grandma came over to our house for breakfast... I didnt get any pictures, I guess I was starving! Then we had church. It was a really nice meeting with just sacrament. We sang songs (I'm in the choir and Katie sand with all the 8 year olds in the ward).
Then we went to Greg's parents for dinner. Brent gave Greg this shirt and they were all ready for the Sadie Hawkins dance- LOL.
The day after Christmas my Dad, Linda, and Wilson came out for dinner and it was a lot of fun.
