Our Christmas Celebrations

Christmas morning, Caroline woke up early... guess she couldn't wait to see what Santa brought her and Juliann. So we went and woke Juliann up and the girls sat in their chairs waiting to open all their gifts!!!Juliann was super excited when she got a Dora doll!!!
Caroline loved "Howdy", the bouncing cow!!!

When Juliann saw all the gifts in the living room, she was a little disappointed when she didn't see the jeep she asked for. She then turned it around and said, "That's okay, maybe I can get a jeep for my birthday!" And with a smile, she opened all her presents. When we were finished we found a note from Santa. He said he had a gift for them, but it wouldn't fit down the chimney, so he left it in the garage. Juliann knew right away that it was the Dora Jeep! They had fun trying it out in the garage!
After opening gifts, we went to Aunt Connie's in Garwood for my mom's side. It was great to see and visit with everyone. All my cousins were there!! We got a picture of all the kids, minus Connor :( he wasn't there yet.

Then we loaded up and went to Yaya's and Papi's. The girls had a big surprise waiting when the got there. The girls were excited about the new swing set!!! They did not want to quit playing on it, but it was a little chilly!
Caroline convinced Yaya to take her out to swing a little more. Aren't the "Little" eskimos cute!
Then we opened presents. Juliann was excited about the golf clubs she got from Uncle Doc and Aunt Nikki! She can't wait for her Daddy to take her to play golf at the Country Club!!
We had a great time at the Little house, but we sure did miss Aunt Katie and Uncle Nathan. We are looking forward to spending Christmas with you guys next Christmas!!!
On Sunday, we went to my parents to celebrate Christmas. Connor and I enjoyed reading a book together.
There were lots of presents at Meme and Papa's house. Here is a picture of Connor and his loot!

Here is Papa with all of his gifts!! He really must have been a good boy this year!
Caroline loved opening presents this year. All she wanted to do was open one gift after another!! The girls got way too many gifts from everyone!! Here is Caroline
and her fun new toy.
After all the gift opening, we went outside to let the kids play. Connor and Caroline enjoyed riding in the wagon, while Juliann rode in the jeep!!
We had a wonderful Christmas!! It was great to spend time with family!! We are so blessed!!! Hope everyone had a Merry CHRISTmas!!!
