A Christmas Morning to Remember....

WELL, it appears that BOTH Sydney and Olivia were on the NICE list from Santa. However, it's a good thing that Christmas was LAST night, or they may have both been added to the Naughty list. It seems that my girls have decided that they no longer need to stay in their cribs when they wake up in the mornings. For the past few days they've been climbing out, which isn't safe and brings up lots of scary images of toddler beds in my mind. However, they need to be safe. However, in those past couple mornings, neither one of them have left their room, ever. Today, however they did, and man was it cute. I wish we'd been able to get it on video, but sadly we were just realizing what was going on as they were talking. It went something like this:

O: "Sydney look, look, what's this."

S: "WOW. presents. Livia, presents".

Mommy: What are you two doing out of your cribs? Both girls looke sheepishly at Mommy and Daddy, and then we both say, "Look, Santa came last night!" "HErmie said you were good girls!"

Here's a sampling of what Christmas Morning was like with the girls!


Look...2 Jessie Dolls.....

 Sydney playing with her new play kitchen.....a super big hit!

 Playing inside our Hippo tent with our Rody's. So fun....

 Our new Tinkerbelle Nightlight is super awesome!

 Opening our Cabbage Patch Dolls from Uncle Todd....

 Opening presents...Olivia is one of THOSE people, you know the ones who have to have ALL the paper removed BEFORE you open the gift? And drive everyone nutso! And Sydney is one of those people who just opens as much as she can to get to what is inside!

 Checking to make sure that your Airel Barbie is as cool as mine....and that you got the SAME Airel pjs!

 Hugging eachother in our new Cindarella dresses from Mommy and Daddy!

 Olivia...just after we discovered that both Sydney and Olivia were out of their cribs and in the living room. Still not sure what all these toys are doing here!

 Playing with her new Kitchen...she LOVES it!

 I love my Fairy wings and Rody the Donkey!

 Playing with my Noah's ark...you know that they come by two's...right!???

 SLOWLY opening a gift.....

 'Smiling' for the camera in my Cindarella dress!

 Sydney....it is essential that one has on their Fairy Wings AND has a wubby AND a Jessie Doll on Christmas morning!

 Playing with her kitchen....

 Checking out her Tinkerbelle nightlight...

 Playing with Tinkerbelle AND her pony at the kitchen table...

 'Helping' Daddy open his presents

 Putting on my 'lipstick'....I love to dress up...

YAY for Christmas, and a special Thank you to our families for such fabulous gifts for all of us! Now, off to get ready for Neena's and PaPa's house and then later on for dinner at Grandma's house...we have a super busy Christmas planned!

Love you guys.....
