Our Christmas season was super busy this year, but our Christmas Eve and Day were spent at home this year. It was a wonderful, simple day!
The girls each got new big fluffy bathrobes with their Christmas Eve pajamas and I I don't think Emma has taken hers off yet!
Christmas morning, the girls "slept in" until 6:45! They were so excited to come down and see if Santa had come - and, of course, he did!
One of the major items on Lexi's wishlist this year had been the American Girl Doll, Isabelle. Emma, always wanting to be just like her big sister, would echo that she wanted an "American Doll" also.
This is a face of sheer joy! Lexi screamed in such high tones that it made no sound when she unwrapped the doll.
AGES ago, I ordered Anna and Elsa dresses for the girls and I was so excited to see if they liked them come Christmas morning. I think the fact that I could spend 20 minutes every night mending the dresses can attest to their popularity. Both girls wore the dresses for the next 48 hours straight!
Later in the morning, my parents came over and brought a few presents for the girls to open. Emma's big gift this year was a bike. She was very excited until she realized it was going to require her to actually do some work to make the contraption move. She quit after about 12 minutes of not being pushed down the street. No worries, we will get her there come springtime. :)
The day ended with a massive feast. This beautiful, well-buttered beast was a perfect centerpiece to end a wonderful Christmas.
