Christmas Morning

This Christmas I actually had to wake up my girls..ha ha. The plan was to go out by 7am. So I set my alarm thinking I won't need it but oh well. Yeah I was more awake and stir crazy than my girls. I woke up Justin... which did not make him happy. His reply " Are you seriously waking me up before the girls have even woken up?!"
Yep of course I did...ha ha. We got everything ready and proceeded out to the Living room. The girls enjoyed their Christmas. They got alot of great gifts, and thank you so much to those who sent something out to them. They loved all their gifts!!! Then while the girls played I cooked a family breakfast favorite called Ableskiver (doesn't sound like it is spelled) Its a danish dish that my grandma passed on to us. Basically they are like small pancake balls. Tastes just a little different though. You can also make them as a dessert. After that we got ready and went to our friends home for a Christmas Dinner. It was such a great day and I love Christmas so much! I'm so thankful that we are able to celebrate it with our family and friends.

Chelsey's big gift from Santa was a flat iron, and Blow dryer. She is growing up and now starting her own bathroom collection. She also got headphones, jewelry, shoes, clothes, toys and etc.. She loved her christmas


Issy had a Barbie Christmas. Santa brought her a Barbie car and also Ky and her got an assortment of Barbie furniture for their Barbie House. She also got lots of great things. The biggest thing is 2 days after she got her cast removed and finally able to wear all these cute clothes that everyone has given her... That makes for a Happy Mom!

Not sure why Ky is giving loves... but I thought it was cute! Ky received the Barbie furniture as well as an Art Eisel from Santa. She also got lots of gifts from Barbies, toys, clothes, and much more.


So I found this shirt and thought of Ky! As many of you know she can win a guys heart over very fast. Between her cute little face and awesome personality... She does have a little boy at school that she likes. So I thought..it fits. It says recess Flirt : Meet me by the swings when the bell rings.

So the girls love Tinkerbell, and they each have their fairy that they think is them. Well last year Ky and Issy bought their Fairies with some christmas money. Issy is Tink, Ky is Silver mist and Chelsey is Rosetta. But we couldn't find a Rosetta for her.. Well Aunt Julie found her one this year :) She loved it and now they all have their fairies!


Aunt Julie also sent the girls a princess Barbie! They loved them.
I want to say that without so many of my family and friends Christmas wouldn't have been as great this year. Justin took a pay cut at Thanksgiving and made it very difficult for us in the month of December. But through out many people were very generous and reached their hands out to help. I know Christmas is not about how many presents is under the tree, but what really spoke is how people really cared to make this a good christmas for the girls. With that being said we had 2 bigger items that were given. After Issy broke her arm, a friend that we gained while on our cruise text me out of the blue and asked about how we were doing and how issy was. I replied and she said she had been seeing all the posts on facebook and wondered. Then she said I have noticed how much you love your girls, and what you are willing to do for them. You guys are great parents and Brian(her boyfriend) and I would like to give something back to you. They work at Disneyland and said that sometime in 2011 they will get us in for free. I about cried, actually I did..ha ha. That was so thoughtful and made my day. We told the girls on Christmas about it and they loved it! Thank you Brian and Cindy!
#2 Grandpa Jim and Teresa let us know that they were sending out a gift card to Toys r us for the girls. It was a good size amount. So Justin got to thinking, that he had some christmas money and with the card, and the girls christmas money from their great grandpa they could pull altogether and get a Wii. The girls were estatic! We love the Wii! I just to finish off again by saying how Thankful I am to have the people in my life that I do. My family is extremely blessed to have each and every one of you! Merry Christmas!
