Christmas--better late than never

I have been debating how much longer to keep up with my blog. I used to love posting pictures and writing about what we were doing. I used to love sitting in front of the computer editing pictures, and posting but now it's becoming a burdensome chore. I thought it would be a good time to quit--before we start a new year. But I feel like I can't quit in the middle of our adoption journey. So, I'm back at it---for now.

We had a fabulous Christmas! We did things a little backwards this time though. Since a huge snow storm was headed straight for OK, we decided to have Santa arrive on Christmas Eve morning. London no longer believes (that was such a sad day but she's wise beyond her years so I'm not really surprised) and Lily is always up for anything! So, the girls woke up and ran downstairs. I hate that they didn't have on their cute Christmas PJ's but I had them packed already. :(

Her favorite!

Her favorite...meet Taylor her sweet American Girl Doll.

We packed up and headed over to Uncle Eric and Aunt Sheila's house. We had a yummy dinner, the kids played hard, and we opened up a boat full of presents in our PJ's!

It was a long day and the girls were exhausted! We drove to my sister's house and we were so happy to get there! We all went straight to bed and woke up to a beautiful snowy morning. We worked all morning preparing a delicious lunch. My sister did a fantastic job. She is a really good cook--who knew!?!?!

PRESENTS!

 

We stayed for several days. We played with the toys, played in the snow, did some crafts, went to the movies, had a date night, and relaxed. We played lots of interesting games...

 

 

London's favorite gift was her gigantic basketball goal and Lily loves her horse, Butterscotch.

Least favorite of mine--these darn things!!

And last but not least, some favorite pictures of mine.

Merry Christmas!
