Merry Christmas!! Santa must have thought our 3 girls were pretty well-behaved this year, because he sure was generous!
Christa got her very first bike with a baby doll, a Barbie tracing set, some safety gear, and some stocking stuffers (which mostly consisted of art supplies for her new easel). Abby Kate got a new Pinkalicious tricycle, a baby doll, some building blocks, and a new Magna-doodle. Elizabeth got her first pillow pet and a Minnie Mouse purse that plays music.
Good morning, girls!
Abby Kate was so excited about her new building blocks. She's been playing with an alphabet set we have a lot lately, and decided that would be better than a Spiderman costume. (She'd requested a Spiderman costume multiple times in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I'm not sure what that was about, but I'm glad she changed her mind at the last minute)!
Ready to ride!
Elizabeth was thrilled with her gifts.
Ready to get this thing out of the box!
Christa was really excited to get some wax juice candy. She's been saying it's her favorite for about a month.
Sweet baby Elizabeth!
Elizabeth had the cutest pose, whenever I pulled the camera out and prepared to take a picture. I was glad to catch this one!
Two growing girls!
I wonder how long they'll let me dress them in matching pajamas the night before....
Family Christmas morning picture....
.... followed by more attempts at pictures with Aunt Alicia. (Mimi and she came over to see the girls on Christmas morning).
OK, we'll make this one a sisters picture, too! Uncle Brandon was in town, too, and we didn't purposely leave him out of all the pictures. He had a big project for work that he had to do, so we didn't see too much of him this trip.
We decided to spend most of the rest of the day at our own house. Cline's entire side of the family came over for the day, and it was very fun and relaxing! Between all of us, we had quite a feast. There were cheese grits, breakfast casserole, hashbrown casserole, country fried ham, biscuits, gravy, cheese ring, artichoke dip, ambrosia.... all of the traditional family favorites!
The kids look pretty happy so far. Elizabeth was napping during this time.
We spent the evening at Cline's grandmother, Momese's, house.
Another cousins picture, minus William who had crashed by this point.
Christa got this great new apron!! She loves to help me cook, and her favorite TV channel is currently the Food Network!
Abby Kate was excited to get a Belle dress!
Elizabeth got a smaller pillow pet and a new charm for her charm bracelet. We broke our "no pacifier outside of the crib" rule, given the late hour and long, rainy day.
It was a great Christmas for all of us! We are so blessed.
