Christmas Part #2..Christmas Morning!

The girls were exhausted from their long day so it didn't take much to convince them to go to bed.  As they were nestled in their rooms the big guy made his move...  he brought goodies for both girls that they would approve!  AB got all the items on her list a bike helmet, walkie talkies, dresses for her dolls, a diary and balls. 

  B got a tennis racket, bath toys and an art kit...

 

But the next morning as we all went to see what had arrived it appeared Ely had one last surprise! 

He left a note and a little trail that couldn't be missed...

 

that Santa must have been full or a little bit messy because he used his cookies to make a trail that led right out the back door!  

 

But these two had to much to explore... 

so once we had time to check it all out, AB read the note to find out what this was all about.

I think they were shocked to see what he had in store...boy he was busy no time to snore.

they didn't waste a second of time before they tried to jump so high, high high!

Then back inside they had to see what mom and dad had in store

my greatest present each year is a blog book for each so they don't have to share. 

and hence why I try to keep up...but year after year it gets harder to do.

but their most favorite present of all was what was not even wrapped at all..AB and I will be headed to Taylor Swift in May and..

B and I will be hanging with a few of her friends for a day!!  (sorry this is why I don't do selfies, I don't have that selfie thing down.. :)

after all the gifts were exchanged the cousins came over for lunch that day.

needless to say the new toy was a big hit.

G and all her silly little grands.

Then over to nicki and pops for our most favorite present of all our Santa Sacks that will help us all year long filled with toilet paper, Kleenex's, detergent and more.. 

then back to our place to exchange with Mason and Max..

but one more stop at Bobo's house for what more food and fun. 

and photos of course!

a tent for B

and a fort for AB

and B even got her very own mini IPad...oh me..can we say protective cover asap!

a basket ball and

goal were in store for AB

 

Oh what fun this Christmas turned out to be...so until next year let's enjoy this break and family.  So on to the next year...my goodness where does the time go!!
