Christmas Times Five!

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Before we ate, Sara enjoyed playing with the motorcycle Santa.

Get your motor runnin'...

Emma had a new taste treat...chocolate cheesecake! She loved it!

When we got home, Emma spread out the Reindeer food she made at school.

Each of the girls chose a cookie for Santa and left them on their special plates...along with some milk, of course.

After a long winter's nap, we woke up to Christmas morning! Happy Birthday Jesus!

Santa brought Emma a Cinderella Castle!

Sara received a My Friend's Tigger and Pooh Treehouse.

Miss Hollywood also got some new sunglasses.

Then we loaded up and went back over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to open up more presents.

It was Cousin Cooper's first Christmas!

Sara got a Handy Manny and his tools! She loves him!

Then we went back home to relax a few hours. Then we loaded our "sleigh" and flew over to my grandmother's house in Ft. Walton Beach.

It was all a bit too exciting for Sara Grace. She had to take it easy while everyone else opened presents.

Sleeping Beauty is coming to life! (I don't know why I'm sticking my tongue out.)

Sara was excited to open her Little Einstein Rocket submarine. It's already become a favorite bathtub toy!

Rachel helped Emma untie a bow on another present.

Then it was a short ride over to Grana and Grandaddy's house for more Christmas surprises...including these snazzy boots! (Which I might add, the girls are wearing at this very moment while in their pajamas.)

Once we got the girls down, the adults opened up more presents!
Grandaddy got a new coffee mug from Emma and Sara. It says "Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine" with the seagulls from Finding Nemo. I was lucky enough to get one from Grandma and Grandpa. It holds A LOT of coffee or tea!

Aunt Beth loves being the last person to open up a present so I thought it was fitting for her picture to be last.

Yep...that's one Christmas Eve dinner and five Christmas Day celebrations! What a blessing to have so much family around us during this special time of year!

See ya in 2009!
