Christmas being on a Sunday was new territory for us. We had a really beautiful, spiritual church program that was a great reminder about the actual meaning of Christmas, and then we came back home for the decidedly non-spiritual part. We did stockings and Santa gifts and first breakfast before church, and after church we did second breakfast and everything else. (If you are familiar at all with my children's grandparents, you will know why they were opening presents until it was dark.)
The candy trail...we adopted this tradition from my sister
and the girls L-O-V-E it. It's usually Christmas Eve by
the time that we remember that we need enough candy
to go from their bedrooms upstairs all the way
down to their presents downstairs.
Thank goodness we always have m & m's.
Lexa's Santa gift. She sure loves babies. As long as they're not real.
The girls got Wuggle Pets. I had some guilt at the
last minute about giving them such a small gift as
their Santa gift, but I soon realized that my worries
were unfounded...these guys were crazy about
being able to make their own little stuffed animals.
Stockings and the rest of the presents.
(Maybe I should ask Santa for new couches...)
All set to follow the trail.
Getting ready to stuff the Wuggles...each one came
with magic sprinkles to put inside and a
birth certificate so the girls could name them.

She'll make such a good Mommy as soon as
she gets over her aversion to real babies.

No, we didn't get "Maverick" for Lexa, even
though she is a die-hard Mel Gibson fan.

She is opening it for Grandpa Dennis.
Cute backpack with a puppy attached.
Or maybe she's more fit to adopt a monkey...
Merry Christmas (3 months later)!
