We loved having a nice and quiet Christmas morning. The kids broke through the traditional wrapping paper wall that morning and played with their new toys for hours on end. Kate received kitchen toys, books for Abby,and a walker for Mason. The biggest surprise was a brand new trampoline in the backyard when they went downstairs for breakfast. The girls squealed when they saw the trampoline and ran out to jump on it in their princess pjs. While jumping, Abby explained how she thought Santa delivered the trampoline. Apparently it was dangling by strings, tied to the bottom of the sled and when they came to our house they simply cut the string and it fell into our backyard in perfect position…because Santa is magical like that.
We enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing. Brett smoked a turkey on his new grill and the Millets came to join us for Christmas dinner. It was the perfect day.
Officially destroyer of all ornaments.
Someone dipped into the lipstick and was caught going through all of mommy's make-up.

Watching the Sound of Music, a family favorite.
The girls bought gifts for their Secret Santa and delivered them.
Fun with friends over Christmas break.
Buddy the Elf was very popular again this year. My mom sent us Buddy several years and he has been a hit ever since. The kids love writing him letters and every once in a while change how they are behaving in case he is watching.
Sea World over Christmas Break. The girls got to sled in snow from their SNOW event and they were in heaven. Everyone else in the world is getting away from the snow and here in Texas we spend lots of money to make our own. Oh, the irony. Ha!
