Yes this might be boring for anyone but my mother but here are the festivity break downs of Christmas Eve and the Big Day.....
While Justin went off to work (Addie gave me an earful about how I had to make daddy work on Christmas Eve) the girls and I got dolled up to hang out at the mall. Justin met us there and we talked with Santa, had lunch, and finished up some last minute shopping. It was so wonderful being together as a family as the last two weeks we have not seen much of Justin.
For dinner we whipped up some home made pizza that the girls "decorated" themselves. And yes Brynn is naked, she acutally has been naked more than clothed for the past two months, but I am proud to say she is almost the conductor on her potty train. * note to husband...I will only be picking the pictures with your "special" faces keep this in mind next time I have my camera in hand... ~sigh~
and I wonder why my children are not normal.
After dinner we opened up the one present (matching jammies) and went to look at Christmas lights. However that did not last long, Brynn started throwing up (I think it was the consumption of oranges) so we got home and sent the kids to bed.
We did see some elk in our backyard and got to listen to the cow calls at night (along with the usual coyotes). I have yet to hear an elk bugle but the cow calls were amazing to hear! Of course we tried to tell the girls they were Santas reindeer but born and raised Montana girls were not fooled even Brynn said that's elk.
Here is the video of Christmas morning...
We had a nice big Christmas lunch with the Posts and hit the hills for some sledding.
This picture is one of many that Addie likes to take, hopefully she will leave my camera alone since she got one of my old ones for Christmas.
Like last year this years Christmas was mostly made up of garage sale items for the girls, where else can you find a lite bright for a buck (I might have played with it more than my girls). Yes I am cheap but for as long as i can get away with it the girls will be getting hand me downs. It was a wonderful Christmas, the girls never brought up the dog they didn't get, they even did a great job sharing, and we spent most of the morning playing doctor (I found an old school fisher price doctor set...I've never had so many shots in one day).
