Christmas Joy

It is time to catch you all up on our Christmas Holiday.  It was awesome!!! 

A few days before Christmas we slept under the tree.

We frosted Christmas sugar cookies, and I have to tell you they were probably the best cookies I ever ever made.  I altered a recipe I found online because I did not have time to do all the chilling the dough before rolling out stuff.  Maybe if your lucky I’ll get around to posting it.

Christmas Eve we ate a fancy dinner, every dinner since then the girls have asked if they could use grandmas fancy glass cups.

We remembered why we have Christmas, that it is Jesus’ birthday and sang some songs.

Then they got new Christmas jammies (Rockwell did too he just needed a bum change first) and left cookies out for Santa.

Santa brought Rockwell a wagon, the girls barbies, and they all got stockings full of goodies.

They got headlamps in their stockings, he looks like a little miner.  Love it.

Santa brought daddy an LED lantern.  So we have this thing about LED anything.  Our daughters can even tell the difference between LED and not or “old” Christmas lights.  When we would drive around looking at Christmas lights they would point out the houses that were LED and which were not.  LED is just better.

We gave Rockwell some police gear so he could play dress-ups too.  Well, so far the girls have used them more. 

We gave Eyla a pretty pony puzzle which she loves I just didn’t get a picture of her doing it on Christmas day although she did it about 100 times, just like she has everyday since then.

We gave Raya got a Doctor Kit, she is obsessed with Dr. stuff and fixing people.  I don’t know where she got it but she would always use knick knacks from around the house to take my temperature and give me shots, now she is official.

The car garage thing from Great Grandma Andres, Rockwell plays with it constantly.

All dolled up Christmas day, don’t be fooled by the cute jewelry, it sings and talks and is absolutely annoying.

Rockwell, handsome as ever.

Christmas was pure joy.  As it should be.  Hope yours was as wonderful as ours.
