Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was sooo fun this year!  I think every year gets a little more magical right now...  These are they toys that Santa left Kennedy.  We always tell our kids to pick one thing for Santa to bring them---their very favorite thing.  They did.  Kennedy wanted a Lalaloopsy Doll and Bridger wanted "bus stop" legos.  When they visited Santa--he told them that they had been so good this year that they would probably get a second toy ("huh??")  Oh boy, were they excited!  Bridger added another lego onto his list--and then put a puppy on there--just in case Santa thought he had been REALLY REALLY good.  Well, after I saw this list, I explained that even though he was REALLY REALLY good, he still wasn't getting a puppy.  Charlotte's kind of like a puppy anway...she's down on all four's, she loves treats, she drools a lot and she's super cute :)

After we opened up Kennedy's doll, we realized that her head wasn't on quite right (a defective elf's work, I'm sure!).  After calling every Target, Wal-Mart and Toys-R-Us in the state and after checking online everywhere (and finding they were all on back order or double the price...) we asked Kennedy to please pick another.  I was really heart broken for her, but it turned out for the best.  She picked this little doll, Blossom Flowerpot and loves her even more :)

Here are Bridger's legos!  He LOVES them, with every fiber of his being!!! That's all he got this year, from Santa and from grandparents!  The great thing is that he can put them all together by himself.  He is such a lego smartie!

And here is what Santa brought our cutie Charlotte.  She LOVED all the treats :)  and she dances when the puppy sings to her, can't ask for anymore than that!

It was sad saying goodbye to our little Buddy the Elf.  Turns out he drove to the North Pole in one of Bridger's Jeeps!  He told Santa to tell the kids where to find the Jeep.  Turns out it was in the play kitchen!  And was loaded with candy :)

I love Charlotte in these pajamas!  She turns into a little mermaid--with her legs tucked up inside her belly, or with both legs in one leg hole!  Guess that's what happens when you're crawling all over the place with roomy p.j.'s!

My grandparents sent the kids pillow pets--they love them!

Cute!!!  I love these Matryoshka dolls (really, they're measuring cups--but I keep them in the living room :) )

And everyone went to work on all the legos while I went to work on breakfast.  It was really hard--I had to turn on the oven... (really, we made it the night before :))

2 things about this picture....don't you love my new red dutch oven??!!??  And can you tell Jeremy got a new lens for my camera?  It is SO fun!!!  Focus on food, focus on pot, i love it!

I love building legos too...in my pajamas... :)

Now I'm just playing with my new camera lens, have I told you how much I love it?

Later that evening, we swung by Jer's grandparents house to exchange gifts with them.

I love Hudson's chocolatey face :)

They have the funnest Christmas house!  I love all the lights and so do the kids! 

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
