I love Christmas! Having your own kids to spoil makes it so exciting. They loved singing Christmas songs all month. They played with the nativity blocks everyday. They were so excited everytime we drove by a house with Christmas lights. They enjoyed decorating the house and tree. They kept asking to bring more treats to more neighbors. And they made very long lists for Santa!
Christmas Eve in their new jammies. This next picture is one of my favorites. All the girls waiting at the top of the stairs for Collin and I to get our cameras. They look sooooo sleepy!
Opening stockings. Notice Clare's hand is full of chocolates. I think she ate them all before she looked to see what else was in there. I loved listening to their reactions everytime the pulled something out.
They each got some books.
And they each got a movie.
Clarissa got Dora. Addi got Tangled.
Kylie got the third Narnia. Breah got Ramona and Beazus.
They each got something to do/play with and an outfit.
Clare was more interested in the toys she plays with everyday. Until she saw dad's angry bird. She knew what it was and thought it was for her!
Clare finally playing with her new Mickey Mouse CD player.
The big surprise this year was a pet. Our family's first one. His name is Gary. Gary the Gecko Hunter. They all love him and were so excited. Clare is always asking if we can get Gary out. She likes to block everyone elses view, so she can have him all to herself. The kids are learning how to take care of him. It has been fun for us all!
P.S. We did clean his cage really good since these pictures were taken!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
