Christmas day was here

the kids woke up at six o clock. it was still dark out. the girls found treasures in their stockings. we waited for daddy to get home! addie was so excited to see chairs for her dolly. i wish i could download the video i took of them seeing the tree for the first time. priceless. i didnt bring my cord to the snowy mountains. darn.

the girls playing with their chairs. this was my favorite gift of theirs. :)



santa brought addie a "pee pee dolly". it was the only thing she asked for for Christmas.
(shhhh... i am trying really hard to like the pee pee dolly, but it is like having another kid that is potty training, not fun at all. the dumb thing peed and pooed peas all over my kitchen table!)


a good stack of books to expand our library.


callie was so upset the whole time. she wanted to rip every gift open one after the other. she even hid under the tree.
oh sweetheart,



i finished the dolls, what do ya know! i love how they turned out. my fav, their striped stockings. this is callies ( with the piggy tails) ,



and addies, with the short bob.






merry christmas!
ours was merry and bright!
wishing the same for you!
