Christmas Morning

I know that Christmas was a few days ago but we have been so busy with family in town and playing with new toys that I haven't had time to post. We had a great Christmas day beginning with Santa's visit at our house that morning. Paxton was so excited to see if Santa had eaten the cookies and milk that we left for him. He was also excited to see all his presents. I think he didn't know what to look at first! He got a guitar, a Cars fold out couch, a racetrack, a Cars ball that you bounce one, binoculars, a glove and ball and some other things too. He has really enjoyed all the presents that Santa left for him. Lorelei was also thrilled to see her "Princess" Christmas. She got a Princess tent, Princess fold out couch, Snow White Princess doll, Princess phone, her favorite book "Mother, Mother, I want another", a puzzle and some other cute things. It is so funny how she already loves the Princesses. I mean we have never even watched any of the Princess movies or TV shows but somehow she just knows. She also got a baby doll feeding set which both her and Paxton enjoy. They love feeding Lorelei's new Cabbage Patch doll, Keira (thanks Nana and Papa).

After all that, we headed up to Grandmama and Grandaddy's house for a family Christmas. My grandmothers and aunts were there and later that day, Uncle Matt and the family joined us. The kids enjoyed getting more presents and handing out the ones we had given to people. They also enjoyed all the yummy Christmas goodies out on the table. I don't even want to think about how much sugar Paxton had that day! We ate a huge delicious lunch and just enjoyed time with family. Amazingly, neither Lorelei or Paxton had a nap that day- that's a first for us! I am sure they would have if we went home but nobody wanted to do that on Christmas Day! I guess it's ok every now and then to bend the rules! Anyway, it was a great Christmas Day and we have enjoyed all of our wonderful gifts this week. We are busy right now with Nana and Papa in town so more posts to come on that!

Paxton's first look at Santa's gifts!

Running to see them, Paxton is SO excited!! Look at that face!

Checking out her new gifts, Lorelei thinks this Santa thing is pretty cool!

Holding his new Cars umbrella, Paxton carries it everywhere now!

Lovin' her new book and chair! Lorelei adores this book and loves to pull her Princess chair out into a couch and go "night, night."

My Little Present! Lorelei kept getting into the boxes and laying in them at Grandmama's house. She also kept getting the Shredded Wheat box and begging for some! I guess she doesn't want to put on any holiday weight!

Our new camera man!! Paxton got a digital camera for Christmas from Aunt Pam and Aunt Von! He is loving taking pictures just like Mommy and Daddy!
