Easy Bake Cookin'

Blakely got an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas and we have been baking fools around here.  We have made cakes, cookies, pretzals, etc...  She is loving it. 

 

More Christmas Fun...

After a morning full of food, presents and fun we took a much, much needed nap and then got up and headed to Grammy and Pa's house for Christmas with Phillip's side of the family.  The kids couldn't wait to go.  They were so excited.  Of course the kids (and Phillip and I) got tons of presents and we really love them all.  Thank you Grammy, Pa and the Westbrook's.  The kids really enjoyed playing with each other.  They wanted to open every box but of course we couldn't let them or we would be missing all the pieces.  They played and played and just enjoyed being kids while the adults talked, ate and just enjoying visiting with each other.  It was a great day.  We did miss having Nanny with us this holiday but I know she was in everyone thoughts as we sat there and opened our presents.  I am sure she was smiling all day.  It was a good day and we are very blessed to have such wonderful people in our life as well as our children's lives. 
 

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.
