Christmas :)


On Christmas Eve we went to Macayos with my family to continue to our tradition that we have had for the last 15+ years :)


After dinner we came back home and let the girls open their presents. This is the last year that we are doing it that way... next year presents will be opened in the morning and we will be spending Christmas morning at our house instead of jumping around :)

She got a dolly that was mine and some cookie monster slippers!

She also got a disney princess watch... though she doesn't wear it ha!

One of her favorites was her electric toothbrush... no longer do we have to fight her to brush her teeth YAY!


Ella got a sophie giraffe and LOVES it! She also got a baby violet... it is a little puppy that has a night light and sings lullabies and plays nature noises.... it is wonderful :)

I place it under her leg in the car so I can tell if she is asleep when the squeaking stops!

After the girls went to bed, David and I watched "It's a Wonderful Life" Exchanged gifts and opened stockings... unfortunately Gigi was WAY over stimulated and screamed at the door for an hour+ David and I were going crazy!! We took turns going in and tucking her in, winding up her music again but she didn't go to sleep until she wore herself out! We are looking forward to next year when we will be staying at home and opening presents in the morning :)

After we woke up, we got some coffee... stayed in our jammies packed up the car for the DAY and headed to my parents house!

Gigi of course had to have her purse and "lip stuff"

She got a doll stroller from Nana and Papa that she LOVES and takes everywhere... up the stairs... in the trampoline, outside, to bed... she can't be without it haha! She also got a school bus filled with blocks from her Aunt Ashlee and Uncle Tommy which she pulls around the house with Elmo riding in it :)

Christmas Baby!

Matching jammies and yes, I put Ella in there haha


Aunt Lili and Uncle Danny got Gigi a singing purse that has lip stick, a mirror, car keys, play money and credit cards and she is VERY serious when she stops to put her "Mape-up" on :)

Ella got some cute teething toys/animals, a christmas bib and a dolly!

Celebrating Briella's first Christmas :)

After breakfast and presents we headed over to David's parents house for more food, presents and family time!
Gigi got a quad from her Grandparents!!! She and Ella also got a double wagon with seatbelts!!! Gigi already loves it and we can't wait until Ella is a little older to ride with her :)

Auntie Becca got Gigi monkey bubbles bath toy! She asks about it all the time now... great toy for the bath!!

She also got her a BOON scooper... Gigi calls it "Ribbet" and it is SO nice to have a clean tub after bathtime!

Her Aunt Joy, Aunt Evy and Aunt Melody also gave her some great gifts :)

We tried to get a family picture BEFORE nap time...
