Christmas

We told the girls on Christmas Eve that they were not allowed to come downstairs until at least 7 a.m. Abby woke up at 5:40, but she (surprisingly) read in her room until 7:00 before we heard her reminding us that it was Christmas morning. Emma was up by 7:15, so we headed to the Christmas tree to begin our first Christmas of the day.


By 11:00, we were packed up and headed to my parent's house for Christmas #2. We got there just before noon and had a wonderful Christmas lunch. Afterwards, we opened presents and the cousins ran around enjoying each other.


Next, we packed up the car and headed to Brian's dad's and stepmom's house. We arrived there a little after 3:00 and proceeded to have Christmas #3 of the day. We opened presents and had another wonderful Christmas dinner. We were all stuffed!


As you can see below, Rocky the cat thought he was one of the kids eating at the kid table...


By 8:15, we were home and very tired. Our 4th and final Christmas will be on Sunday with Brian's sister who had to work a 12 hour shift on Christmas. We have been blessed with such a wonderful Christmas season!

I'm exhausted from just hearing about all your Christmases! Your girls should be very happy with all their gifts.
