Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Both girls were so excited and made it so much fun. We started out Christmas Eve at my parents house with the traditional food, presents for the kids, white elephant and money trivia game for the adults. We had a lot of fun and the girls were SO excited to finally be able to open presents. My mom gave them each their own princess house and princess/prince set. They were in heaven and played upstairs the whole time the adult games were going on.
Christmas morning came with me waking up at 8:00 and everyone else still asleep. I decided to shower and get ready, Ryan did the same. Ryan's dad Jeff stayed with us this year and he had been up since 7 because he was so excited. We finally woke the girls at 8:30. So far there has not been a year that we have not woken them up and I realize this is going to end very soon. The girls were so excited and LOVED everything they got. They were very good with the "thank you" this year. This year the family recieved a wii and Addie has been playing it nonstop. After presents were opened we headed to Ryan's brother's for breakfast and more presents. Then it was over to Grandma Bushman's for MORE presents. The girls received "Baby Alive" from their Great Grandma and they LOVE them.
Later in the afternoon, my parents and Amber came over with all the leftover food from Christmas Eve. This was AWESOME! They came to see what the girls got and I didn't have to cook. We decided this would become the new tradition.
I gave Ryan this massive Nerf gun that has a tripod. He was so excited he had to go across to show our friend and neighbor Greg before we could go to breakfast. He and Addie have had a good time playing together with their Nerf guns.
It was a wonderful Christmas and we are so greatful for the season and all of our wonderful blessings. We really tried to stress to the girls what the TRUE meaning of Christmas is and I think they have figured it out.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
