A Very Merry Christmas

We decided to spend this Christmas at home. We didn't travel anywhere (not because we didn't want to see family, but because of the time, expense and effort involved). We had a wonderful Christmas. It was very low stress and it was so fun to see our girls open their presents.

The loot (pre-kids)


Opening gifts took all day. We took lots of breaks to play with each thing. It was a good way to spend the day.

Even Kayla got a treat.

We made a Gingerbread Train this year. Erica was very excited about all the candy.



Decorating the train consisted of Troy doing it, Erica eating all of it and Nancee keeping Sadie away from it.

Sadie trying out the newest baby toothbrush/teether from my mom's company. This one is the Baby Sharky Brush.

The girls' favorite thing to do together. They drink milk and Erica imitates all of Sadie's actions.

Christmas Eve pajamas. Sadie preferred to eat hers.
