This year we had a grand total of 3 Christmases, and believe me, I was a little partied out! But the girls did great and we are so blessed by our families and their generosity and love for us and the girls. The first Christmas was at my parents. And as you can see from the first couple of pictures someone went a little overboard! Ha, but Elise loved playing 'Santa' and reading everyone's name. Though it took 'forever' because every other one had her name on it. (Ahem, mom...) Anyway, as with a typical 4.5 year old, it didn't take too long to get through it all, and the carnage was pretty impressive. Unfortunately, I didn't get a final picture. Will have to remember for next year because with a 2 and 5 year old, it will probably be even crazier! (It is a good thing we have a van now.)
Maggie thinking she could play 'Santa.' Or, what can I get into??

Maggie with Aunt Kristina! Typical Maggie, thumb in the mouth.
Once we did a few, Maggie started to get the hang of ripping the packaging!
And of course, she wanted it open right away. I could barely take any pictures of her because she was walk/crawling toward me with it.
As you can see, it was a little crazy, but awesome! Both girls got some nice new toys. And some they might even be able to 'share.' (I use that term loosely because Elise thinks she still pretty much has free range with the toys because most of the time Maggie doesn't spend more than a few minutes playing with any one toy.) Though the nice part is that, Elise does recognize that Maggie "doesn't know how" to play with some of the toys and someone HAS to show her how. She is at least trying to be helpful. :)
We stayed with my parents for a few days, and then headed off to Bob's parents for Christmas #2.
