Christmas 2007

Before I get to all the Christmas festivities I wanted to share this with you: The other day we were all in the car and Tim could not take any more Christmas music. Jenna said, "Don't be a Grinch (said gwinch), Daddy."

Jenna's 3rd Christmas and Ashley's 1st!


Ash really enjoyed herself. In fact, SHE was the one to be up all night waiting for Santa. She was up all night and not fusing but playing, laughing and smiling and VERY pleased with her decision to stay up and party all night. Just goes to show, you never know which little rug rat will pull the craziness...



We got up at 8:00 AM. I thought for sure we'd be up earlier. Didn't really matter though as Tim and I were up all night with Ash. Notice how Boo could not even come out of her mouth while she was opening gifts?!?!

The girls enjoying opening presents. "Be be's too little I open for her..." I know this will happen again next year when Ashley will be more than capable of opening her own gifts.

Not sure what this was about but Molly looks like a Llama!

Learning to be a princess...by force!

Time for the royal ball! In our pajamas...

Ashley with some of her loot. Notice the My Little Pony? That is so not hers but she took over it! Jenna was a great big sister and did not let it bother her too much. She lets Ashley plays with it whenever she wants.

Molly treasure-seeking in Jenna's stocking loot.

Molly is not too sure about Jenna's My Little Pony Sing and Dance Pony.

Ash says, "MY pony!"

It was 9 in the morning!!

Jenna "teaching" with her easel.

Enjoying the wrapping paper and Boo...

A slinky!!

We went to my parents' house after 12. We opend more Santa gifts and family gifts and ate. We had a great, but tiring day.
