Christmas Festivities

We started the celebrating with the Moore clan and a morning of playing, christmas crafts, lunch, and holiday treats. Much fun was had by all!

Next, we moved onto Christmas Eve festivities at Grandma Donna's. The girls were excited to get dressed up and go see Uncle Joe and Grandma and Grandpa Irvin.


The girls were definitely excited that Santa was getting ready to come and high on too much sugar. Hopefully Donna will still want us back next year. One exciting thing was that Lauryl was fascinated with her potty and actually asked to go and went potty TWICE while we were there:-)

After reading the Night Before Christmas and the Curious George Christmas book, the girls went to bed and santas elves set up the loot and devoured the cookies that had been left behind for the jolly man himself. Here's the BEFORE pic:

The girls enjoyed opening their gifts. Smart mommy and daddy slipped in some Christmas propaganda regarding saying goodbye to binkies.

We also got Kendyl her own 'real' hot chocolate mugs, which were a huge hit!

The favorite mommy and daddy present of the morning though was a sled...too bad the snow we ordered didn't make it. The girls got snow boots too, so we're ready when the white stuff finally decides to visit again.

Then we were off to Rob's parents. The girls were excited for more great presents and I was glad to capture a shot of the five kiddos and our only family shot of the day.

Lastly, we went to my parents where the girls had another major score and a great time playing with everyone. Lauryl especially loved the scooter!
We loaded the car and headed home after a long day of family and friends. Lauryl passed out on the way home, but Kendyl stayed awake and helped us unload everything. It was a fun day. We hid the mess in the front room and are relaxing in the family room. We decided to pretend that there's not a big mess waing to be sorted...at least for tonight. Merry Christma to all, and to all a good night!!!!
