Christmas Morning 2011

Christmas Morning 2011

I will have to get pictures from the other cameras off my phone and fill in some gaps here but I know there are several of you who would want to see these sooner than later. Right now I'm working on getting some order restored to this house because it is a MESS so who knows when I'll sit to blog again.

The reindeer food must have worked because Santa found our house!

Max and Uncle Josh became good friends.

Matney was awake and excited but had a hard time waking up. Halle Kate however was bouncing off the walls at 6am.

Wooo hoo! Santa did come!

Halle Kate has been begging for this baby Simba (from the Lion King) who wraps up in a leaf and purrs for months.

Matney's big Foofa from Yo Gaba Gaba

Halle Kate stayed in her cute jammies for all of 5 minutes before she saw her new Batman shirt and made Jared change her clothes. I started to get frustrated (because I wanted them in the same cute matching thing for pictures!) but since 2012 is the year for "enjoying the moment and relaxing" I ended up laughing at her new clothes.

Matney has wanted this baby Rapunzel for months. I can't wait to spend my days brushing and brushing and brushing all her hair. NOT!

Because every house needs a roller coaster! The girls are assured of one crazy gift each year as long as Grandaddy is around.

Stockings!

Poor Max didn't think he was getting enough attention. And yes, these are well photographed girls. I think we had 3 still cameras and 2 videos going today and I took the least amount of pictures.

Robot stickers!

Toothbrushes? I love that Santa is practical!

Yep, Santa ate our cookies!

Matney got a whole box of dress up clothes from TX and had to put them on before she's open another box.

Robot got his own present...a new Robot friend named Plex. They are both curled up in HK's bed as I type.

Jared and some of his man tools.

I got a surprise present from Jared. Don't you love his wrapping skills?

A tetherball! Whooo hooo! He put the pole up yesterday in the backyard but I didn't notice it even though I was out there more than once. I would make a horrible witness. I've joked about needing a tetherball several times and he listens. How sweet! We went out to play today but it got toooooo close to my already painful nose and I decided I'd stay away from any more potential nose injuries for a while.

Most. Exciting. Gift. Ever. The brand new Silhouette Cameo and a Micheal's gift card. Preschool please hurry up because Mama wants to go shopping alone!

Spidergirl stayed on her roller coaster for a large majority of the day.

Matney got new shoes and tiaras so of course she needed to put on a princess outfit.
