Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and we are so blessed to share it with our two beautiful girls. Bryden was so excited when she woke up, she walked into our room and said "I see a rainbow downstairs, I think Santa came!". The rainbow turned out to be a big blow globe Santa that stands 5 feet tall! Awesome! Santa left that for us to add to our growing collection of outside Christmas decorations! We opened all our gifts,and Bryden was VERY excited to see that Santa heard her wishes for a Nintendo DS (or Atendo DS as Bryden calls it...why Santa brought a gift that she can't even pronounce correctly is beyond me :o). Anyway, she LOVES it and has been mastering the princess game, and we are working on two more! Emmy was very happy to tear wrapping paper apart and play in the sled that Santa brought us...for our next big snowstorm so we are prepared!). Both girls had a great time and Jim and I really enjoyed watching them open gifts and play with them! Then, we ate breakfast and headed down to Nanne and Grampa's for Round Two of gift giving and receiving! I think Emmy hit the jackpot with her gift from Aunt Chandra and Uncle Murat...they got her a drawer full of toys! She immediately started pulling all the toys out of the bin and had a blast with it. Bryden got more awesome gifts, including totally cute swim suits, a Hannah Montana guitar and headset, among lots and lots of other things. Jim got a FABULOUS picture of me and Emmy (if I do say so myself) from Mom and Dad (he got one of me and Bryden when she was 6 mos old), and I got an awesome cricut machine (for scrapbooking) and a double jogging stroller! We got a bunch of gifts that were all perfect and then we took naps and got to lay low for a while! Then Round Three, the extended family came over for dinner and more gifts! Man oh man! We made out like bandits! Merry Christmas and enjoy the pics!
