This year we were actually AT OUR HOUSE on Christmas morning. That is the first time EVER that we have been home on Christmas. We were both really excited about starting this tradition with the girls this year. Shane was also excited (I'm not kidding...he really was for some weird reason:) about staying up really late on Christmas Eve and putting together the trampoline that we bought the girls for Christmas.....
Actually reading the directions before starting....hmmmmm....that's a first :)
STILL reading the directions.... :)
making progress....
more progress....
almost there....
Props to the daddy!! The girlies are gonna be SO pumped!
Christmas morning!!!
OK....FYI...The Gabster is her momma in the mornings and Jocie is her daddy in the mornings. Gabs wakes up and is ready to GO....Jocie, not so much....
While Jocie was still slowly coming alive...Gabbie was trying these cool little glasses on that made the Christmas lights look like big stars....
She was mesmerized.....
Time to light the last advent candle! Please note the girls faces....just a bit opposite :)
Daddy praying and thanking God for sending Jesus to live and die for us....
Singing happy birthday to Jesus....
They had to both take turns blowing out the candles....which almost resulted in a fight (shocking, I know :)
Stockings!! (or as the girls say..."their willy big socks")
Jocie FINALLY starting to wake up :)
Princess stickers!
Lipgloss!!
Gift time!
Gabbie being SO careful opening hers :)
and Jocie just tearing into hers....
Their "willy soft bear and piggie!"
A Melissa and Doug birthday cake set....they were SOOOO excited about singing happy birthday to Jesus again and blowing out his candles on his cake :)
Puzzles!!
Kitchen stuff!!
The daddy and girlies got me a new Francine Rivers book. YAY!! (Man, I look ROUGH!)
I got the daddy the most amazing gift ever...thanks to our friend JK for letting me know this actually existed....The MAN GROOMER!!! It's a shaver with a long extension arm on it so the daddy can shave his own back!! I no longer have to do it!!! FREEDOM for me!! (P.S....He used it and it worked awesome....so I def. recommend it to those who need regular "grooming" :)
The girlies got daddy a sweet picture and frame....
Drumroll please......trampoline reveal time!!
Yep....they loved it :)
After they burned off some energy jumping, they wanted daddy to help them cook some cupcakes.....
Some of their creations.....
I'm pretty sure Gabbie is going to own a cake/cupcake shop when she grows up :)
After cooking a ton of cakes and cupcakes, they decided they were ready for breakfast....Christmas morning breakfast menu: homemade wheat waffles, scrambled eggs, and turkey bacon....
Then off to church wearing their pretty dresses that MawMaw and PawPaw got them.....
What an incredible Christmas morning...at HOME!!
