Christmas Morning

The BIG day is finally here!!!  The kids couldn't wait.  Mom and Dad came over at 8am to watch the kids open their presents the only problem was that the kids were still asleep.  We had to wake them up - crazy!!!  I totally thought they would have been up way, way early.  I think they were tooo tired from all their Christmas Eve fun.  Once they got up they got to unwrapping and they loved it.  They were unwrapping as fast as they could.  They got everything they wanted and they were so grateful and happy.  It was so sweet and so special to watch.  There sweet little faces all innocent and full of joy and excitement is just priceless.  I love it.  I would have to say Drew's favorite was probably his guitar.  He loves it and plays it constantly.  It is so cute to watch him.  He is like a little rock star.  Blakely I am not sure she loves everything - the cardboard house, the Lollaloopsie, the Easy Bake Oven, ??? I don't know she goes from one thing to the next and just is so excited about them all.  After all the present excitement Papa made us a yummmmmmy breakfast.  Thanks Papa!  It was a great morning but I am worn out and ready for nap.
 

It's Christmas Eve!

It's Christmas Eve - It's Christmas Eve - It's Christmas Eve and the excitement is in the air at my house.  The kiddos are so excited.  They have asked about Santa, presents, Christmas, etc... over a 100 times.  I don't think this day is ever going to end.  I love it though.  I love their childhood innocence's and excitement.  It makes it all worth it.  They are just so sweet.  For Christmas Eve we go to the Lester's for dinner.  We had a nice dinner and the children had a great time playing with each other while the adults enjoyed "adult" talk.  Before the night was over Grammy and Pa always allow the kids to open one present.  I am not sure they get it yet but as you can see from the pics it is PJs.  Every year they act surprised!  Too funny!!!  She also has started in the past couple of years getting them a book with a matching stuff animal.  The kids really love this.  Here we are on in to the new year and they are still sleeping with those animals.  Finally after all the excitement we headed home to get ready for bed so Santa would come.  You know he doesn't come if you are still awake.  Before we could head to bed we had to spread our special reindeer food so the reindeer would have a little snack while Santa did all his work.  After that straight to bed....tomorrow is the big day!

 

Happy Belated Birthday Maya!

Poor little Miss Maya was sick for her TWO year old birthday party so it had to be cancelled.  So Quinn decided to do a little party for her.  We met at Yogli Mogli which is a cute little frozen yogurt shop here in Douglasville.  It is Oh So YUMMY!  Maya was excited to have everyone join to celebrate her special day.  She looked so cute and of course she loved the yogurt!  Happy Birthday Maya!
 

Polar Express Day

On the last Friday before holiday break the Twins had Polar Express Day at their school.  They were so excited.  It was a 1/2 day - which they really don't like but I know the teachers sure do appreciate it.  For Polar Express day they got to wear their PJs and they couldn't wait.  They got to watch the movie, they got bells to wear, they got to drink hot chocolate and they got donuts.  (THANK YOU Grandma for bringing the donuts.  They were so proud "their" grandma was bringing the donuts!)  They also got to bring home all their goodies.  It was a good day - now off for over two weeks!!!
