We got a little bit of snow the week before so it was nice to have some snow on the ground. I think Christmas is so much better when there is snow! The girls have been on their best behavior for Santa and his elves. We have been hiding 3 little elves around the house so the girls think they are checking to see if they are being naughty or nice.
We took them to see Santa and had them all in their cute matching shirts but we ended up having to have a family photo because the second Stella Grace thought we were leaving her with the bearded old man, she lost it! It is a miracle that the photo turned out as well as it did.
Christmas Eve was nice. My aunt Tricia and brother Andrew came out for dinner on Christmas eve and my other brother Aaron and his wife Caitlin and her brother Connor came over later in the evening and my brother in law showed up later in the evening too. We were all able to hang out for a bit and set up everything from Santa :) and it was fun.
Christmas morning was bordering on chaos, total chaos. The girls had a bunch of presents to open and were very happy with what Santa brought for them. Santa brought Sophia a Belle doll from Beauty and the Beast, the movie to accompany it, and 2 of Belle's dresses for her to wear. Santa brought Annabelle 2 dolls, Woody (from Toy Story) and Muno (from a TV show she loves, Yo Gabba Gabba), the Muno doll is a big hit and she carries him with her everywhere now. Last, but not least, Santa brought Stella Grace a baby stroller and her own baby doll (appropriately called Baby Stella) so now she can keep up with her big sister and their strollers and dolls. Along with Santa's gifts they received many more from friends and family. Annabelle did not even want to finish opening hers and she about 5 gifts left that night so was able to have 2 Christmas' sort of.
We had some great meals, great mimosa's and/or bloody mary's, spent time together and watched Beauty and the Beast :) what more can you ask for ...
