Christmas #1

We got to go to AZ for Christmas with my family this year so we celebrated at home early. It was good we got to spread out the gift opening because these little girls got SO many presents...they are so lucky! (Today we were reading one of our gifts, one of the "Little House on the Prairie" books, and Laura & Mary only got 2 small gifts for Christmas in the book. I asked Ali how many gifts she got and she didn't even know there were so many!)

Actually, this picture wasn't of the very first present openings....the VERY first gift that was opened this year by the girls was accidental. In the middle of December we were sitting around the living room talking and the girls were running around. All of a sudden there was a new Barbie in the room and I said, "Where did that come from??" It turns out that Lizzie had opened one of her gifts a bit early!! The Barbie doll was in a gift bag and she just reached in and took it out while we weren't looking!! THANKS to Kirstin (Chris' cousin) for giving the girls two of her Barbies!!

They LOVE the new Mouse House playground and their new "wheels" that we put down in the basement!!
