Our first Christmas morning with the girls was really fun. Every year we have been telling ourselves that it was probably our last Christmas without kids and now that we finally have them we feel so blessed! Our little angels woke up at 6:30am and we hurried up, got ready and opened presents so that they could go down for a quick nap before heading over to mimi and papa's house. The girls had fun playing with the wrapping paper and their new toys. Santa brought them big-girl carseats, bath toys, bath towels, and lots of little spoons and cups and other practical things (thanks santa!)
James tricked me by wrapping up the uggliest pair of earings ever...they were big gold christmas trees with red glitter spraypainted on them! I didn't even know what to tell him, luckily before I said too much he told me that the real pair was underneath - what a brat! He also got me the amazon kindle - which is an electronic book that lets you download magazines and books to read. I have always loved to read so I am thrilled with the Kindle! I wrapped up nuggets tickets for the day after Christmas with Elway's Steakhouse menu and that was James present. We had a great night out while mimi, papa, great gramma, great papa, bradley, jolene and joseph watched the girls for us - thanks guys!
We packed up and headed over to mimi and papa's house later that morning and had a wonderful brunch with everybody, then opened more presents there. This was the mountain of presents before we opened them...holy cow!!
Papa got the same stomach flu that we had last week and it hit him Christmas morning so he spent the whole morning in bed :( It just wasn't the same without him around, we missed you papa!
Joseph helped us open presents since our hands were tied for a little while with the girls. He had a blast this year - he loves being around great gramma and great papa so much. He calls great papa his best friend and wants him to always hurry up and eat so they can go play - it is adorable!

Of course we forgot our camera when we visited the Sandovals on the 26th, but we had fun seeing Steph, Emily, Tyler, JoAnne and Harold that day. Thanks so much everybody for all of the cute clothes and toys! The girls are going to remain stylish for the next 6 months at least!
