Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

I have so much to blog about & so many pictures to share, I thought I'd just jump in with Christmas. We had a lovely Christmas-- a late late Eve for Mama (sewing jammies until the wee hours of the morning), a quiet morning playing with new toys, a mid-day nap for most, and dinner at G&G N's.

Here are some pictures....

Santa brought the girls a tent & tunnel set.

Monkey got a monkey & loved reading her new books

Aren't these dolls the cutest? They were a gift from my talented SIL, Jeanne.

HH played a couple of rounds of Hello Kitty BINGO with Chick (I have a great husband). Here's a little video...

HH with his new inversion system. Chick was fascinated.

I made these Snowman Cocoa jars to take around to some family & friends.

I found the idea on this blog.

These cute nativity sets were a gift for the kids in our primary. HH cut out all of the blocks (enough for 80 sets!) and the other gals in the presidency did the sanding & assembling while we were on our cruise. There were a couple of extras, so we got one too : )

The girls, playing with Grandma's poinsettia & Little People nativity in their new jammies (Chick will be wearing hers for YEARS--I shortened the pants by 6 inches so that she can wear them now).

(Daddy has matching pants too, but didn't cooperate for a picture)

And finally, at the end of the day, a bedtime story with HH, who Monkey adores. She just started signing his name, and does it a lot because she's a Daddy's girl.
