Christmas Day 2012

hmmm... better late than never right?  Only a month behind.... ;)

Here we are! Christmas morning 2012. All around fabulous Christmas. Girls loved & appreciated everything they received ... can't ask for more than that.

I just ADORED the hats Santa brought this year!!! Too bad the one Lydia has on just isn't quite big enough... for LeaAnn either. But she would not keep it on regardless ;) LOVE her face here :D

And even more so here! LeaAnn 21-1/2mo, Lindsay 6-4mo, Lauren 7-8mo & Lydia 3-1mo

Girls decided that Lydia got to open her Santa present first... she was so cute! Loving every detail of her enormous present :)

And of course I didn't get the moment when the Tangled Tower came out of the box, but it was priceless. She had her hand over her mouth and was shaking... unbelievable :)

Lindsay was dying to go next! So Lauren let her :) A Furby for Linds...

All smiles... all day :)

Then Lauren....

An Easy-Bake oven!

Cowboy boots for Lauren & a cake-pop maker for Lindsay...

Poor LeaAnn... she was just not feeling it. The only thing that would make her happy was candy from the stockings... she received an easel from Santa (that was not put together so it didn't look that exciting) and all she wanted was the Furby ... here is Lydia trying to cheer her up :)

Christmas day is also Grammy's birthday... so we begged Jim to let us come over and play! And barge in on their dining plans of course ;) He finally caved, so we headed over to sled.

Tank loves Lydia... and loved that she had a doll today!

A little chilly, but not bad at all... they had such a great time.

This pretty much sums up Lydia on Christmas day... Rapunzel went with her everywhere :)

Lydia also insisted on walking up the hill by herself and pulling the sled too :)

Chris got the hard job of carrying LeaAnn up every-time.

Tank was determined to get Lydia's hat :)

I love her face here

And he did grab it :) Chris had to chase him...

AHHH! I just adore this picture of Lindsay! How cute is she racing down the hill?!?

I did not have snow pants on... so I was taking pics and waiting for LeaAnn to cave from the cold.

They had many races...

And Lydia was insistent she ride by herself :)

She did a great job.

All smiles.

So was LeaAnn... she lasted longer than I thought she would.

This was the cookie nativity scene that Jeanette made & decorated!! So cool... made of gingerbread so it would last longer. All in all we had a fabulous Christmas day... feeling so blessed in so many ways.
