Christmas Day

Christmas day was fun.  Kaelin woke at about 7 and crawled in our bed to tell us the Christmas Story (I need to video tape it - but of course the camera was dead!). Hailey woke at about 7:30.

'Reading' the recordable Hallmark books from my parents.

Tons of new costumes, dress up and wigs!

Kaelin's Fancy mirror.  She loves it!

 

After a TON of presents and fun, I set to making about 80 cake balls, and about 4 dozen peppermint meltaways for the next day.

BTW  Justin and I decided to NOT exchange gifts this year.  He however did not honor that agreement.  I woke to UGGs, new tennis shoes, and 2 gift cards (Barnes and Nobles and McDonald's - I do love my sweet tea :) ).  I am so blessed, and yes, I have gotten over my fear of wearing my new UGGs outside.  I love them - they are soooo warm and comfy.

We also learned that the new product MOON DOUGH is a NIGHTMARE!  It gets everywhere!  We will stick to Playdough in our house.  Between Justin and I, I think we swept the floor at least 5 times on Christmas day!

After the girl's naps we visited with the entire Theodore family (our brother in laws family) for a bit.  Then we came home for a chat on the computer with my family.

It was a great day all around!
