Merry Christmas!

This has been an insane month for us but it was wonderful to have a very relaxing Christmas. We got up and Emily ran downstairs to see if Santa had come, which of course he had, and he brought with him a new Amazing McKayla doll. She was so excited! It was well worth the money but the doll is rather annoying, especially since Emily can't work her very well. Ally got a new rolling Dora suitcase which she loves, she likes to roll it all over the house filled with toys. She was funny because she opened one of 2 toys first and we would give her another present and she would only take one hand off of the toy guitar to open the other present so it took her forever to open her gifts. It worked in our favor that Emily wanted to help her!

One of the best parts of Christmas was that Mike made the entire dinner. I didn't cook a thing. He made prime rib, which is his specialty. He makes the best prime rib. He also helped in the cleanup afterwards so it was super easy.

After we got the girls to bed, Mike asked if I wanted to take all the decorations down, so since he was offering to help I agreed. It took almost no time and it is actually really nice to be done. The only sad part was that Emily was watching a movie and when she figured out what we were doing she sobbed. But Mike saved the day by putting up on the ceiling some of the glow in the dark stars she got for Christmas.

Overall this Christmas season was crazy but fun. It's so much better the more kids you have. I can't wait until all our girls really understand Christmas, there is nothing better than watching your kids really get into the excitment!
