Christmas Morning!!

Our main Christmas tree.
I have 4 of them, so I thought I'd specify!!
Brent has some crazy idea to get some 9 foot monster for the vaulted ceilings next year.
We'll see.
 
Little girls ready to explode!!
Their daddy woke everyone up at 4:15.
There was no point in trying to convince any of them to go back to sleep!!
 
 

So we started early!!
In Brent's opinion,
opening presents after the sun has came up is in natural.
 Ella got her Fat Flamingo she has coveted since summer.
She saw him at The Front Porch when we were looking for a gift for a friend.
Since an elf has to go threw that shop to pick up all the letter for Santa that are left there, in their special mail box, one must have grabbed the flamingo on one of their trips!!
 
 Scarlet was so excited.
It was like she finally got opening presents!!
 



 In their letters to Santa, and when they sat on his lap,
Scarlet asked for 'The Lion Guard' and a teddy pair.
Santa delivered.
 
 Ella wanted all the lego dragons he could manage!!
 

 Scarlet got her brown teddy beat to cuddle with!!
 
 And Ella got THREE Lego dragons!!
 
 
We headed into the family room to see what was left in our stockings!!
 
 
A few weeks before Christmas,
I made the mistake of tossing the girls an American Girl Doll catalogue that had randomly came in the mail.
Pouring threw the pages was amazing and they both desperately wanted one.
I told them no.
Because they barely play with dolls,
and they're ridiculously expensive.
Well, Santa must have thought they were extra good, because a doll* was waiting for each girls with a bag full of different outfits for them to share!!
 
It was a wonderful year.
Brent took the days off so he could be home with his family,
and that was the best gift of all!!
 
 
 
*disclaimer: the dolls left behind were knock offs from Walmart because even Santa refused to pay such a crazy amount for something that you can't even tell the difference!!
