Christmas Morning

I’m jumping around a bit trying not to miss anything…

Here are the girls (and Esther) getting ready to come down the stairs Christmas morning.

They have turned the corner so I had to get another picture Smile

I did not get a ton of shots Christmas morning.  We had a wonderful time opening gifts.  The girls got a trampoline and piano keyboard as the big things.  We got a Keurig coffee pot, so the morning was spent sampling different coffees with that too—yummy!  Bags from Thirty One, some Origami Owl, CD’s, and a bunch of other things that I just can’t think of right now….  We know though, it is not about the gifts, but about the ultimate gift that was given to us about 2000 years ago, and for that we are eternally grateful—literally!!

The cats had gotten ahold of a boa.  We had a Christmas party at our house and played Dirty Santa and one of the girls ended up with a boa that was left out.  The following morning this is what the living room floor looked like  Smile  Needless to say, the cats enjoyed that gift very much!
