Merry Christmas!

So, Christmas finally came! The kids hung their stockings by the, uh, shrunk (someday we will have a fireplace!)!


Santa was here!
The excitement begins! Aaron's first observation: a HUGE trash truck!
And Emily got a hair styling set...she cracks me up!
Aaron also got his first set of real tools!
I wish you could see her face better...Santa knew what he was doing bringing her a new baby doll!
And here's Aaron with his new orange snow plow! What magic for them!
Emily tried to play with everything at once!
Trying out the sand spreading part of his snow plow...
Glad to know we have another dog that can open presents...
Pretty Bailey (on a side note: apparently puppy teeth are full of poison and ill behavior chemicals. Since she lost them, she has been SO much sweeter!)
Next we headed off to Grammie's house for more Christmas! Check this out...Grammie Claus strikes again! (In her defense, a lot of the toys were in HUGE boxes...and she has 6 grandkids and 6 adult "children" to buy for!)
There was so much happening through the gift opening that I didn't capture much...except for Aaron playing in the pile of paper at the end!
Sweet little Mira and her thumb!
Emily and Ava playing...
Aaron and Daddy playing with his pretend wood set and tools!
Emily in her new chef attire with her new toys...she kept asking everyone to "take a walk" with her!
The next day, we all got the kids together again. Aaron and Audrey always get dressed up...this was their getup that night!
What a great Christmas and what a magical time of year for our family. We sincerely hope that yours was equally as special.

Happy New Year!
