BEWARE: this may be the longest post of all time!
Christmas morning has to be the best morning of the whole year. Addy came running into our room at about 7 "i think santa came, santa I heard him". So we all went to check the milk and cookies and since they'd been mostly eaten, we turned on the lights in the living room and Santa had surely come. I showed Addy her stocking and she picked up the pink bear and said, "Santa remembered" it was so cute. Then she sorta got distracted because everyone else was looking at what they got and she wanted to see too. We slowly would pull things out and she'd go show Gracie or someone else. This year some of the things Santa brought were: Chutes and Ladders, the book Pinkalicious, clothes, a christmas dress, black boots, barbie fairy, small toy story figurines, bracelets, minnie mouse coloring pages, fairy paper dolls, princess lip gloss and nail polish, the pink bear, and some treats. Santa knew we weren't going to be opening our presents from under the tree until 4:00 so he kinda loaded up the stocking this year.
Coloring our minnie pages before church.
Gotta love the two sides of my kid!
Sadly we never got pictures in our Sunday clothes before church. Addy was having a super-duper meltdown because her dress was too scratchy. It took her a good half hour to calm down which was about 2 minutes before we had to leave so we thought we would just take some when we got home. Of course we remembered after we'd all changed and Addy was taking a nap. So it goes.
We spent the afternoon playing games we'd gotten from Santa, doing our nails with this awesome kit my sister got, and coloring with the kids.
Then at about 4:00 my brother showed up so we gathered for presents. I didn't take any pictures of us sitting on Santa's lap but we all did it.
This is Addy's song. She made it up so you really can't hear or understand the words but it was still cute.
These kids were just a little excited!
They helped grandpa santa pass out all the presents.
And then we each took a turn opening them up.
a pink bah-bie.
Mitch didn't want Chelsea to be able to guess what was inside the box so he tapped two boxes together with lots of duct tape.
Bah-bie makeup, hair stuff and a dress up. Yes, barbie is quite important at our house right now!
Addy gave Mitch a Dremel tool. He was pretty thrilled with her choice.
Princess dress ups from grandma and grandpa.
She was thrilled!!
Mitch got spoiled with a new sander and skil saw. He totally deserved them!
I got a yoga mat and yoga socks. Now my carpet won't get sweat soaked anymore.
Last of all, Addy got to open the biggest present of all time.
A dollhouse for all her barbies, made by her dad! Have no fear, I will be posting more about this amazing house later on because it truly deserves its own post.
/sigh of relief/, She LOVED it.
After playing and cleaning up a little bit, we gathering in the kitchen and opened our poppers, adorned our crowns, told our jokes and ate a delicious feast.
I'd say it was a Christmas to remember.
