We had a nicely ridiculous Christmas.... story deserves a post of it's own so this one is for the good stuff!!! Santa was good to everyone here...we must have all been nice.... or Santa had his sights on other naughty folks when we weren't being so angelic!!! Christmas eve after the munchkins were tucked in Santa moved all the toys from his sleigh (aka our pool table) and placed them under the tree.....





Then when Jon came home from work Christmas morning we brought the girlies downstairs for Edie to exclaim "WOOOOW" ...and Ella to say something in Chinese or maybe it was Japanese .....only she knows!!!
Edie was super excited to see the baby doll stroller she had asked for ...

Ella preferred to ride her packages ...

Edie getting into the fun !!! They were both cranky (and so was daddy a little but he had been up all night) ...


Papa Jim and Yanming sent what ended up being their favorite gift for most of the morning ... baby dolls. They carried them around EVERYWHERE!!!



Edie could not choose which stroller she loved more ... so she fought Ella off and tried pushing them both.

When Edie tired of her hogging of the strollers Ella had her turn .....she couldn't decide which one she preferred either ...one was more fun to push .....

.....and the other more fun to sit in.

Edie really loved the wooden building blocks ... she stacks them up as high as she can get them and steps back jumping up and down yelling YAAY YAAAAAY!!!


Both girls loved their gifts from Aunt Kaye ...

Edie showing a little tutu love!!!

Ella likes to wear her tutu as a necklace!!!

Ella LOVES LOVES LOVES to have these wings on ... she throws them at me and backs up to sit in my lap so that I can put them on her...

Edie likes the butterfly antennae ...

Rubi joined in on the tutu fashion show...

Jon got a bunch of useful household stuff like a garage hose (which has a car detail kit ....my car really needed him to get that) and a pressure washer and a Bose system for his daytime sleep room, etc......
I got useful things as well .....like the tea kettle Jon has been dying to have and a box of shamwow rags!!!!

Then.....THEN!!!! I opened this beauty..........

Isn't she lovely!!!! Stay tuned for some awesome pics .....you can almost take pictures of nose hairs without blurring them with this baby!!!!
