Very Merry Christmas

New pajamas for Christmas Eve! Not sure why they are standing like the 3 stooges...or why Regan's pants are as high as Great-Grandpa Terry's... They are such dorks!

I LOVE how this picture shows their expressions when they first walk out and see their presents! They literally stood there for about 30 seconds just taking it all in :)

Mollie's new razor scooter AND her riding gloves and elbow/knee pads. She wants to start mountain biking with the rest of us which makes me REALLY nervous...she is crazy-fearless! The pads are to make ME feel better in case she crashes :) Mollie has been riding her scooter all over since she got it. She takes it to school, rides it outside, and even inside when its too cold to be out!

Regan and her collection of Barbie princesses...after going to Disneyland, that's all she wanted! She still plays with them every single day! She has them "ranked" according to how much she liked them in person :) In case you didn't know, her favorite is Rapunzel. (Note: Sleeping Beauty is not pictured, but she is still ranked 3 princesses below Rapunzel) Regan DID mention that she wished Santa brought her a Flynn Rider doll too, because he was her MOST favorite from Disneyland!

Our Carli is such a big kid now, that she didn't want any "toys" for Christmas this year. Her Santa wish list: Under Armor sweatshirt, Puma shoes, premier league replica soccer ball, Fire FC premier league ball bag, and the movie "Home Alone". She thinks she is pretty hot crap with all her fancy stuff! I will admit that it made me sad...she is getting so big! Don't let her fool you...she might try to act super-cool, but she still likes to play Barbies, Polly Pockets, Squinkies, My Little Ponies, or whatever else her little sisters want to play :)

What a fun Christmas!! The girls are such a fun age, full of belief (if you know what I mean) and full of giggles! We came back from our little trip to the cabin on Christmas Eve in time for a big family dinner with Chad's family (Grandma & Papa Dean, Sam & Jill and Aubrey, Sheila & Mike and kids, and LOTS of dogs! 6 to be exact) It was nice to visit and let the kids play. We came home and got the girls bathed, opened new pj's, made cookies for Santa, read our usual Christmas books, tracked Santa's progress online (about 100 times) before getting them to bed. Sam, Jill and Aubrey stayed at our house and it was so fun to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with them. I decided that I didn't take near enough pictures...I didn't even take any of them, me or Chad! So rude!! The girls were full of excitement! They got us up early, so we opened presents before going to 9am church. I sang a beautiful version of "Still, Still, Still" and it was nice to have family there to listen.The rest of the family came over after church to eat lunch, exchange gifts, and just hang out. It was fun to visit, play a wicked battle of chinese checkers, and eat so much food/candy we could pop! It was a Very Merry Christmas!!
