Santa was so good to us this year! We tried to keep Christmas on the smaller side, because we are taking the girls to Disney World this year! (I'll be blogging all about our planning over the next few weeks!)
Santa didn't arrive until closer to midnight because our big girls kept waking up in excitement! Just when we thought we were in the clear, one would wake up. I finally decided that I would need to sleep with Gretchen in order to keep her upstairs, and an hour later, DJ woke me up letting me know that Megan was in our bed and wanting me. DJ slept on the couch, and I slept with Megan. It was a horrible night of sleep for us both!
Gretchen woke up right before 7, so we woke up Adalyn and let the Christmas fun begin!
Santa brought lots of presents and a Cozy Coupe for Adalyn. He even fixed the girls' princess car!
Megan went straight for her Doc sleeping bag and the Cozy Coupe.
Then the little girls climbed into the princess car. Adalyn spent most of her morning in the princess car.
Gretchen had tons of fun opening presents! She had great facial expressions full of excitement and surprise, and would proclaim, "It's just what I wanted!"
Both of the big girls got new Nike's and shin guards for when they play soccer this spring.
Adalyn got a new baby doll.
Gretchen got a new leotard for dance.
And a Princess Sofia game for her Inotab.
Megan got lots of Doc McStuffins toys!
Adalyn was still hanging out in the princess car!
Megan got Doc McStuffins pjs!
We saved the "big" presents for the very end. Megan got a Walking Doc Mobile- the one where Doc holds on and she walks while pulling her Doc Mobile.
And, Gretchen got the Barbie Life in the Dream House that she has been begging for since November!
To say she was excited would be an understatement!
Once the presents were opened we ate doughnuts and DJ sat to work putting the dream house together.
The Dream House was finally put together and Gretchen could not wait to start playing!
Adalyn tried crawling inside!
After lunch, the girls went outside to play in the "snow" that our elf had brought us for our North Pole Breakfast.
Then we went to the front yard to ride in our cars
We spent the rest of the day playing. DJ made smoked pork tenderloin for dinner, and we packed for our Arkansas trip.
Staying at home for Christmas was perfect. It was stress free, low key, and the girls were able to play and enjoy themselves!
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas too!
