Christmas Morning 2015

Santa came!

 

We told the girls they couldn't go in the family room in the morning, but that didn't stop them from coming into our room and waking us up at 5AM.  

They never do that!  We made them climb into bed with us and they went right back to sleep.  We woke Em and Ivy up at 7 and made our way to the tree.  The morning was short and sweet and perfect.  I love this little family of mine.

Poor Ivy got the shaft.  One present to open.  

Thankfully she doesn't care!

I love how excited they get to watch each other open gifts.  

They are always so happy for each other.

Christmas Eve Evening

 Christmas Eve we went to the Overton's for tamales!  Best meal ever.  We opened gifts and let Uncle Monte and Aunt Kasey assemble all the girls' toys so we wouldn't have to.  :)

 

After making our way back home and into our Christmas PJ's, we wrote our letter to Santa, opened the gifts the girls picked for each other, and went to bed where no one fell asleep.

 Ivy was a bit of a pill this hour.
Tantrums all over the place.

 

 

Christmas Eve Morning

 Christmas Eve morning we all met at my folks for a big breakfast.  After we ate, the cousins re-enacted the nativity and my parents bore their testimonies.  I always love this little tradition.  We let the cousins open the gifts they got for each other and then headed home for naps.

 A lot of these are super blurry, but oh well.  I love the way Em is looking at Great Grandma in this one!

 I love my parents.  They make the best grandparents.

oh ya.  And Emery did this.
