Christmas!!

Christmas morning. It's the best with little kids! I'm glad mine are still young enough to sleep until 7am though!! The girls had fun opening all their gifts. Lily loved holding her presents, but never really figured out the ripping it open part. Mom had to help with that. She got a little ride on bike that she LOVED. Once that was open, she sat on the bike the rest of the time. All her gifts had to be opened while sitting on the bike! Jason and I gave them a big wooden dollhouse. I found it at DI a long time ago for $7!! We repainted it, and re-carpeted it. There is still a lot I want to do, but I ran out of time. The girls love it though, and it will be fun to decorate it together! It was a fun Christmas. We stayed home for most of it, just enjoying our family and gifts. My parents came over to give the girls their gifts, and we stopped by their house later to give them theirs. Jason had taken his families gifts over to them the night before. It was a wonderful day. It feels like it hasn't ended. Jason is still home for a few more days, and we are playing games, putting together puzzles, and watching movies together! What a fun time of year! We hope everyone had an equally Merry Christmas!!!


Here is the before and after of the dollhouse. Who would paint a little girls dollhouse GREEN!!?!?
