Merry Christmas!

Here are the few pictures I got this morning. Enjoy!

 

Running in the living room first thing this morning!

Hey Ruby – why am I up???  And she kept trying to eat the felt chocolates to Ruby’s tea set!

Seriously mom, why am I up 2 hours earlier than normal???

Ruby went right for the biggest present – she had been eyeing since I put it out a week ago – it was a My Little Pony house!

OH! Open it NOW! LOL!

Mom, I still don’t know why you woke me up so early!

Ruby showing her why she’s up!

Okay – COOL!!! I got new toys!!!

From Grandma Patty and Papa Donn… what is it???

A Wii!!!!   YAY!!!!  <commence squealing and jumping around>

 

I had set most of Maddie’s toys out, but here is Sierra trying to explain to her that she needs to open the few that are wrapped

 

You do it Sissies, I’ll just eat the paper…

Karis opening some gifts

Oh a skirt!!!  (that Mommy made :))

Woohoo! Another pretty skirt!

Opening Hungry Hungry Hippos from Daddy

And Sierra’s gift – she unwrapped it and saw the box from Little Miss Matched (where we get socks from) and she put it off to the side.  I told her, what’s in it?  She said, oh, stuff from Little Miss Matched.  So I said, open it and see…

Oh wait – its another present

What’s in here?

Another present!!!

Lightbulbs???  Wha???

ANOTHER PRESENT!!!

Opening up the tin…

IPOD!!!!!

And the aftermath…

Now I can’t wait to pick up my parents at the airport tonight!!!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

TWO MORE SLEEPS….

Well, the girls would say two more sleeps til Santa comes, however, I am counting down to GRANDMA!!!  While I so patiently wait to escape my kiddos, here are some pictures we took of the Snowball fight the elves had!

Ginger Snap sitting on the presents with her pile of snowballs.

Candy Cane hiding behind a box

Holly Berry and Nut Meg in their ‘snow fort’ and a supply of snow balls

And the girls cleaning up the mess as I told them they have to clean up any messes their elves make or I would send them back to Santa!

 

 

And then this morning we woke up to the elves sitting around my camera.  I asked the girls what did the elves do last night.  Sierra says, I think they took pictures because they have your camera.  I asked, did you look?  Sierra tells me no, mom, they’re magic, any pictures they took wouldn’t show as they can show us their magic.  Um… well, lets turn the camera on a see…

(note, some of the pictures were upside down as those silly elves didn’t know how to use camera, but I turned them all for you!)

Candy Cane sliding down Maddie’s toy

Climbing the Christmas tree

Do you think there’s an attraction between Ginger Snap and Nutcracker?

What, now their Spidey-elves???  Scaling walls and sitting on the ledge!

Rocking in Maddie’s swing

Do you think they miss playing with Rudolph at Santa’s house?

Watching Phineas and Ferb

Sliding down the banister

Check out the cool shades!

Oops, hand in the way!

Lets try that again! Much better!

 

EEEK!!! Can I have some privacy please!

Playing on the computer

 

Self Portraits – just like the girls like to do with the camera!

 

Holly Berry sliding down the lamp

 

Ginger Snap chillin’ on the couch 

Every girl loves bows – even elf girls!

Looks like Candy Cane pooped out early

This is how the girls found her this morning
