Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning the girls slept in a little and then were excited to see what Santa brought for them. We started with their stockings. 

Here's Natalie with a new bath scrubber in her favorite color!

Olivia found a "Me Mouse" placemat

...and a "Yee Haw" (her name for Toy Story) cup!

Already creating mischief with the cup!

Then the girls found their presents from Santa. Doodlebears!  Natalie was consistent in asking Santa for this every time she saw him and when she wrote him a letter.  Santa was pretty smart and brought Olivia a Doodlebear too.  Santa obviously didn't want to deal with any arguments over a silly bear :)

Trying out their new toys

Natalie loves her Doodlebear

We played for quite a while and then I started on breakfast.  Nana & Papa and Steph & Mike joined us for a yummy breakfast and more presents.

Olivia was a little overwhelmed by all of the presents this year...

She loved her Olivia chair

...and playing in the garbage bag.
Natalie really got into it and took her time with each gift.  She was really excited about everything she got.






 So glad that Uncle Mike joined us for Christmas this year.  He just got out of the Navy and is starting school, studying engineering.  He got a fancy schmancy calculator. 

Here's Aunty Steph with her kindle.  She LOVES to read!

After all the presents were opened we sipped our champagne while the girls enjoyed some of their new toys.  Uncle Mike & Natalie put together one of their favorite new toys.


Olivia & Papa having a nice snuggle!


After some playtime and naps (and a change in venue to Nana's) we got dressed and headed out for a walk before Christmas dinner.  Glad that the boys got to join us!



 Cute kids + Katie :)

These crack me up.  Here's Nick helping Olivia on the princess car...

 Love her face in this one!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas as well!
