Christmas

We had a delightful Christmas! My parent's were here visiting and Lily was at a wonderful age to start enjoying the magic of Christmas. When she woke up, she came running into our bedroom shouting for us to get up and see if Santa had come. We set our cookies and milk for Santa, and she wanted to check and see if he had eaten them. After she woke up mom and dad, she ran in to wake up Grandma Cindi and Papa Kenny. None of us were moving fast enough for her!

Once we got downstairs, it was all about opening the presents. Lily did a great job letting other open presents. Well, she wanted to do all of the opening, but it didn't matter to her if the gift was for her, or for somebody else.

Santa was very good to all of us this year. The girls got lots of toys and games. I think Lily's favorite is her doctor's outfit and doctor's kit. For Madeline, it's probably her little barn house with the animals that make noise (Thanks Arnie!). I was very spoiled by my parent's and my husband too! We all feel so lucky.

My mom made beautiful night gowns for Lily and Madeline. Lily is wearing hers for Christmas morning, but since Madeline isn't really walking yet, we thought it best to keep her in her sleeper. The night gown reminds me of a gown that I had when I was about Lily's age.

I've posted a few of my favorite pictures and then below that is a slide show with the rest of them. Enjoy!
