Christmas

Well, Santa must have been really proud of the kids' behavior this year because it seems they really hit the jackpot. Daddy and I both thought Santa might have accidentally gone a little overboard...

Big Boy got his robot he wanted, a spaceship, a firestation, Evil Dr. Porkchop, Buzz and robot pjs, playdough, Leapster games, board games, and stocking stuff.



Sissy got a hula hoop, jewelry box, Moxie girl, Rapunzel and kitty pjs, a Tag reader and lots of books, a Strawberry Shortcake car, board games, a Rapunzel dress, a new Polly Pocket castle, stocking stuff, and a music player w/microphone.

Sissy was very entertaining with this toy all weekend. Her playlist is quite diverse (Santa uploaded her favorites)- she has lots of her fave Taylor Swift but it also includes the Jackson 5, Sound of Music soundtrack songs, Pink, Usher, Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, and Disney princesses! She loves it and loves belting out all sorts of songs.




After a Christmas brunch and enjoying Santa toys we headed to Gpa and Gma McLain's for the rest of the day!








And they were spoiled rotten with even more presents! They both got sleeping bags for camping out and lots of new books. Sissy got a Barbie rock star guitar (which she is rocking out to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun as I type this), pjs, a Leapster game, Polly Pockets, a tutu, and more. Tate got a scooter that he is very excited about, a Toy Story game, pjs, a Joker Funhouse, a flashlight, and more. The ones who love them were very generous this year!


We played some ball with Grandma...

And cars with cousins...

Held baby cousin H...


And made an attempt for a cousin picture. This was about all we could come up with but we are looking forward to some good ones of them together in November when we will be at Disney World- cousins, moms and dads, and grandma and grandpa!


The next day we had Christmas part 2 at my mom's with my extended family.


My brother bought Big Boy the navy outfit he is wearing- wow, way to go twenty-something brother, it fits and it's cute! Oh wait, you only bought it because it looks like a "pimp suit"? Fantastic. T also receieved a 'That's what she said' t-shirt from said brother.



Presenting Great Gma with her gift...


What a wonderful Christmas! We saw lots of people, we opened lots of presents, and were spoiled rotten by our family. We had fun celebrating.

(Above is definitely the strangest picture I took and I think it's funny so I have to share. Sissy is actually entirely IN that bag. Uncle B was carrying her around- in person, he does have a head, though)
