Christmas

There are no words for how fun it is as a parent to see your children's reaction to a sight like this.  No words.  It is pure magic.  All you want to do is sit back and watch their little eyes light up.  They were spoiled rotten.  

 I think a big part of the magic was this little beauty that has currently become my best friend.  He lives in the garage.  Whenever I need him all I have to do is say, "why don't you go out in the garage and jump on the bounce house," and he is there for me.  He inflates in about thirty seconds and provides hours of fun.  Best. Present. Ever.

 It was love at first sight.  They would open a gift or two and ask if we could turn the bounce house back on for more jumping.

 The opening begins.

 The highlight for Lily was a new baby doll and a baby carrier.  The baby came with a binky.  Lily loves binkys.

 Audrey has wanted a bathrobe like her sister in the worst way.  That Santa is so smart.

 More and more jumping.  They couldn't get enough.

 We had a delicious breakfast of eggs benedict.

 Lily absolutely loved drinking from the fancy plastic glass.

 It's funny how plastic goblets make a regular breakfast a "special" breakfast.

 For dinner it was surf and turf.  Oh that surf.  Delicious.  These were some of the best crab legs I have ever had.

 We were filled with lots of love by the end of the day.  Group hugs were in order.

 Finally matching robes!

It was such a wonderful day.  I am so blessed to have this family of mine and so thankful for Christmas and all the things we are able to celebrate.
