Christmas Dresses

It is no secret that I LOVE LOVE LOVE buying fancy dresses for my girls. I think they love it almost as much as I do. Theses dresses have hung in their closets for over a month and every Sunday Alexis would beg to wear hers. They were super excited to finally get to wear them.

Christmas Day

These wonderful girls blessed us with sleeping in till 8 on Christmas morning. What I wonderful treat! The excitedly made their way downstairs to open presents. Lila was not at all interested. She found her vacuum as soon as she got downstairs and only wanted to walk around vacuuming. Everyone was thrilled with their gifts. Alexis and Eliana both wanted American Girl dolls, but not the real ones. They wanted ones from Target. Eliana also got a remote control car for her littlest pet shop. Alexis got a Hello Kitty karaoke and CD player, which at times I am now regretting buying :) Lila got a ride on toy and a doll. After hanging out at home and playing with our new toys we headed to my parents house. Everyone got exactly what they were wanting and we had some very excited kiddos. While we opened present all Lila wanted to do was eat a candy cane off the tree. She was sitting with my Dad and when she finished opening a gift she would bring it over to the ottoman and push across to me. Alexis and Eliana both had their hearts set on certain things they wanted. They were a little disappointed when Santa didn't bring those items. They were SO excited when those things turned out to be what nanny and Poppy got them. Elianas was a Barbie wardrobe and Alexis was a barbie Princess and the Popstar guitar.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we celebrated with Nicks family. We had the traditional Clam chowder dinner, which was delicious. The girls enjoyed opening their gifts, although it is hard to tell by the pictures. Eliana and Alexis both got dream lights, they were thrilled. Lila was funny opening her gifts. She tore off the tiniest pieces of wrapping paper and then would hand them to me. She got a Minnie Mouse vaccuum and a little people princess castle. I will have to admit the princess castle is so cool, I may have played with it after we put it together. To say she loves her new toys is an understatement. The older girls all got matching jewelry boxes, which have also been a hit at our house. The had a great time I were upset when the night was over. Watching the excitement in my girls faces as they open presents is all I need for the holidays. It"s was one of favorite parts about being a parent. (the pictures aren't great, it is so hard to get good pictures of kids opening presents)
