Christmas is my favorite time of year!!! It's so nice to go home and spend a few days with my family. This year was no exception. We had so much fun and enjoyed every minute of being home with everyone. The girls had a blast Christmas morning! They both are old enough now to get into opening presents. Rylee loved looking at all the presents searching for hers and Sadie's names. We also had a surprise visit from Santa this year!
We must have all been good this year cause Santa sure spoiled us again!
Santa filled all 11 stockings!
When we came downstairs we were all shocked to see that Santa was just finishing up! We really had no idea about this.
Santa stayed for a few minutes to give each kid a present and take a picture with them. Rylee was shocked but so excited. Sadie and Quincy weren't too sure at first but then they quickly warmed up, I think the presents helped, haha.
The 3 kids and Santa
Sadie giving Santa high 5 and saying bye! She did a lot better this time than at daycare and at the tree farm. This Santa was really friendly and extra good with these kids :)
Rylee looking through all the presents looking for her name.
Quincy checking out what Rylee got.
The girls opening a gift together.
7 princess barbies! Rylee loves them (and I'm sure Sadie will one day too)
Sadie's favorite gift was a singing Barney. She LOVES Barney right now! Here she is singing the Barney song, its so adorable! I love you, you love me....
...with a great big hug...
...and a kiss from me to you...
Very happy girls going through their stockings.
After all the gifts and breakfast we had a little downtime before the Truscott's came over for our Christmas with them.
I realized this is the only picture I got of the girls on Christmas day with their cute dresses on. I forgot to take a family one. But this one is cute of them cuddling with Uncle Alex. They love Uncle Alex! He usually is running all around with them, this picture just happens to be of them relaxing from all the craziness.
Then it was Quincy's turn. They actually both fell asleep and I thought it was a cute picture.
Around 2:00 my Gramma and the Truscott's came over. My Uncle Mike likes to start "cocktail hour" (or hours in our case) pretty early. Everyone had a great time visiting and then we enjoyed an awesome turkey dinner that Brad made. He is such a good cook, I love it!
Santa made another surprise visit when it was time for presents. My Gramma got such a kick out of it.
She opened all her presents while sitting on Santa's lap. Doesn't she look so happy!
My Uncle Mike didn't catch on at first on who Santa really was. Any guesses??? He eventually figured it out and him and my brother had a few good laughs over it.
The Truscotts wanted a picture with Santa too.
Dana and Santa. That's one lucky girl to be dating Santa :)
Gramma (or GiGi) with the grandkids (and great-grandkids)
It truly was a great day and we are all so blessed!!!

Take 2
We decided to make a cake for Jesus's Birthday to remind the girls of the "reason for the season". We made a chocolate oreo mint icecream cake. It was delicious and the girls had a lot of fun making it.
Concentrating on putting the oreo crumbs on.
So much fun!
The weather wasn't nice to go outside so we ended up doing a lot of baking. The older girls made Christmas cookies and had a blast decorating them.
The three little one's. Its hard to get 3 one and a half year olds to look all at once. This is the best I got. I'm hoping Jac or Annie got one with them actually all looking. 
Rylee and her BFF's, Grace and Maddy
It was finally time to eat the ice cream cake that the girls made. The girls sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. Its kind of funny but if you look closely you will see Baby Jesus on the cake (Jaclynn took it from our nativity set and propped it on the cake, haha)
