Merry Christmas!!!!

 SANTA CAME!!!

 Blake was the first one up (besides me). He took a look at the presents then started running back and forth throughout the house. Just a little excited! :)

 Happy Birthday, Savannah Noelle!!!! Our Christmas doggy celebrated her 1st Birthday! She received lots of presents and we took her to the park midday to celebrate. We sure love this crazy girl!

 Santa ate all the yummy cookies.

 Sleepyhead waking up.

 Time for the stockings!

 Some Clif Bars for Jeremy to enjoy while riding his NEW mountain bike! He is a very happy boy this Christmas. My present? New floors and a new front door- woooo hooooo! Can't wait for the installation mid January!!!!!

 One of Blake's favorite presents.

 Mr. Elfie asked Emerson earlier in December if he could have her favorite dress for a project that Santa wanted to do. He told her that she would get it back but would not be able to wear it again. After much thought, she agreed. On Christmas she opened this special new doll wearing her favorite dress! She cried. and cried. and cried. I talked her through it, and when all is said and done this is her very favorite present; whew!!!

 Grammy and Grandpa are excited for their huge deli order to be shipped from the best deli in New York!

 I was with Blake earlier in the week at Target to pick out his gift for Emmie. He was absolutely adorable. He picked the fanciest princess-like dress he could find, the most sparkly purse he could find, then wanted to get her matching nail polish. This boy is a very thoughtful gift giver. Love it! Emmie loved her present from her big brother:)

Then, I put the camera away to enjoy the day with the family. Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents at their house. We had lots of yummy food, opened several presents, and had another visit from Santa Claus himself!

 First presents of the night.

 Woo Hoo! A plasma car!

 

"SANTA'S HERE!!!!!"

Beard's falling off a bit here Santa:)

 Blake still very unsure of this Santa guy.

 Presents for everyone!

 Blake didn't love Santa but he SURE loved this truck from Santa!

 

Jeremy having fun on the kids' plasma cars. Why didn't they have these when we were kids!

 Emmie's gift from Santa- Peppa Pig!

 Aunt Kristyn bought her a vet set; now she says she wants to be a vet when she grows up. I think she'd be great at that! :)

 Home to make sure the cookies are out for Santa!

 Reindeer food out front.

Then....nestled all snug in their beds so that Santa wouldn't skip our house. Sooooooooooo exciting!!!!
