Christmas time

Part of my New Years resolution is to pick back up on my blog.  Well, I have some catching up to do. Christmas was fun this year.  Anabelle enjoyed everything, especially the snowmen ('no-man!').  Emmie really started to understand everything this year, which made it especially fun.

So we started off by decorating the tree...






We went to visit Santa at Phipps.  If you can't see what Emmie's list says let me tell you.
1. Kitty cat
2. Kitten
3. Barbie
4. Butterfly
5. Cookie
6. Crayons
7. Makeup
I wish it would be this easy every year.  There was no addition of live animals to our family this year.






Classic...









Then we celebrated with Brent's family early. Ash and Santi took the kids to Argentina for Christmas for the first time.  

Nana and Pops made the kids day with their new cars







We went to the annual cookie decorating party at Sweet n Sinful. Emmie loves this day.  And we have to deal with the wrath of the sugar high that follows.


The girls and their buddy Will.  Apparently he loves gummy bears and the girls love marshmellows :)







We caught a few sweet moments in between activities.

Christmas Eve day reared some ugly heads.  For some reason girls got real fussy.  I think it was all the excitement.  But we enjoyed our time with Nana and Pops.  It was our first Christmas Eve night in our own house!







This is how we roll at bath time. Love Anabelle's face.









 Christmas Morning!!!






Christmas Day at Mimi and Papa's House.  Aunt Shannon and Uncle Tim got the girls these cool chairs.  A hippo and a frog.  They. Love. them.  


Pure excitment


Papa got a new fishing pole!





Great Christmas! Good times! Can't wait for next year!
