Merry Christmas!

Wow, what a BUSY Christmas!! We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and had a great dinner and did our pajama exchange. Then we all headed back to our house to spend the night and wait for Christmas morning. Of course Craig and I had tons to do to make sure Santa made his arrival! We finally got to bed at 2:30 in the morning and woke up with Owen at 6:30 and Emma was up not long after. Kaly woke everyone else up and we headed down stairs. Emma wasn't sure what to think at first (she was still waking up) but soon got into the whole present thing :) Santa brought her a new princess bike!! Later in the afternoon she tried riding it but it will take some time for her to understand what to do. She doesn't quite get that the bike has brakes! Owen did really good too and tore into some of his presents but most had to be opened by others. He LOVES the ball popper that Santa brought and the electric tool bench that Aunt Kaly and Uncle Branden bought. He could play with those for hours.

We ate far too much food and all felt sick after dinner was over but everything turned out great! It was nice to have everyone over for Owen's first Christmas. Thanks everyone for our gifts! The kids sure did make out like bandits this year!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! We are excited for what the new year will bring!

Here are just a few of the 150 pictures I took!

Testing out her new bike that Santa brought!

Owen playing with Aunt Kaly and Uncle Branden and the work bench they got for him.

Emma got dress up clothes and LOVED them. She has been wearing them ever since!

Yay! Movies

The aftermath... this is after we had cleaned up a little! My living room is still trying to recover :)

Trying out her bike for the first time!

Tucking Ozzy safely into her princess pouch. So Cute!

She had quite a day. She actually feel asleep at the dinner table. She has NEVER fallen asleep anywhere besides on us, the car, couch or her bed before. She must have been really tired!
