Merry Christmas 2010

IMG_3920

I can’t believe Christmas has come and gone already.  2010 has flown right by and we’re about to welcome a new year tonight.  We enjoyed Christmas Eve at the Sing’s house.  The girls opened their gifts from Nan and Big Papa.  Hailey was really excited to get her first digital camera and Rylan loves her snowglobe.  She collects them and is fascinated by the globes so that excited her so much.  We baked cookies during the day.  Rolled the dough and cutout shapes like stockings, reindeer, candy canes, etc.  Of course we made a huge mess and decorated them ALL!  It’s our family tradition and the girls look forward to it every year.  They now have precut cookies in Christmas shapes but there’s no way I can break our tradition even though that sounds SO much easier!!

Santa Came! Santa Came!!

The magical words we heard at 4am!!!  I thought Rylan would go back to bed but instead she woke up Hailey.  Then we heard them talking so loud and what sounded like them unwrapping presents.  I finally got out of bed and met them in the hallway.  Rylan is jumping up and down saying “Santa Came!!”  I said ok, lets go back to bed and look in the morning.  Well…Rylan thought it WAS morning!  She was so upset and cried and cried.  They ended up going back to bed and Rylan was up again at 7:30.  Guess that’s better than 4 lol!!

After opening presents and playing with new toys.  Aunt Brittany came to visit.  Later we got ready to go to Gammie and Papa Mel’s for gumbo.  It was definitely a LONG day!!  I don’t think we got home until about 11pm.  We appreciate all our family for everything they do for us and our sweet girls.  Now we’re ready to welcome 2011 and all the unexpected adventures it will bring!
