Christmas 2010

Christmas was a blast! We had a nice relaxing day, and stayed in our PJ's and played all day. It was just what we needed after the crazy year we have had. ON Christmas Eve we went to our new church's Christmas Eve children's service. They asked all of the children to participate in the retelling of the Christmas story, and Sofia was one of the singing Angels. It was super cute. Then we came home and everyone got to open their Christmas tree gift. A tradition that my mom started. Every year you get an ornament for the tree, something about the year. So Sofia's was naturally a Disneyland ornament, and Emily's was her first Christmas ornament. Then everyone was off to bed and Santa came. We had a nice relaxing morning of opening gifts, playing and a great breakfast. We then took a walk, and Sofia got to eat lunch with her new best friend (who now goes everywhere with her). We then all took naps, and had dinner. It was a great day. Here is the day in pictures:


The girls got to open their gifts to each other on Christmas Eve. Both Sofia and Emily love the gift that Sofia got for Emily, and ice cream set. They played with it while we got ready for church.


All dressed up for church

Emily and Sofia ready for bed in front of the Christmas tree- which Emily is terrified of. She touched it once and that was it!


The children were all snug in their beds while vision of sugarplums danced in their heads.


Sofia asked for one thing this year- Woody. As you can see Santa delivered. Woody has since gone everywhere with us. She LOVED Woody. She told me that when we aren't around Woody comes to life:)


Emily and her gifts


So with a lot of sleep deprivation, and little time I had a little bit of a Christmas mishap this year. I stayed up one night very late and wrapped every gift. Then I packed them all up and shipped them out. I thought I was so thoughtful that I had even found personalized wrapping paper for my mother-in-laws gift. Well my mother-in-law had bought Chad's gift and had it sent to the house for me to wrap for him. In all of my haste that night, I wrapped Chad's gift from his mom in her wrapping paper and shipped it with everything else to Texas. When she got it I told her the mistake we both laughed and she sent it back, but she "edited," the wrapping! We all found this quite hilarious!!!
