Christmas was a BLAST at our house! The girls are really at that age where things are fun for Clay & me.
On Christmas Eve, the girls opened one gift-- a children's Bible-- and we read the Christmas story from it that night. Then, off to bed... not to wake up until---- 7:30am!!! Merry Christmas to me & Clay!
Adrienne was the "early riser" and came into our room whispering, "Wake up, it's Christmas!" Then she did the same thing in the twins' room. Abby jumped up & the two of them ran to the Christmas tree. Every direction that Abby looked, she would gasp in delight & say "Wow!" So funny! As they started playing with the big toys (see above) laid out, the sleepyheads, Audrey & Addison, made their way to the tree & played with them. We opened our wrapped presents & played & made a mess (!!!) & ate candy all morning/afternoon long! It was unseasonably warm outside, so the girls (and me!) got to ride on their new plasma-cars outdoors and in! SO FUN! They came inside for a Princess Lunch at the Castle where the "royal servant"--that would be me, of course, served them lunch and "tea" on a new tea set.
We wrapped things up with some yummy baked potato soup & grilled sandwiches for dinner (with Christmas sweets for dessert!). The girls had an even harder time going to bed that night than before!
