Our Christmas Eve...

1 day 'til Santa! Yikes!

This morning was the last door to open on the girls' advent calendar. They have been so excited every morning this month, December 26th is going to be a letdown for them!

The big payoff was today - a Ponyville (mini) "Minty" was behind the final door!

Yesterday we made gingerbread cookies. Tonight we decorated them, including special ones for Santa.

Bath time for Santa and Rudolph...Putting out Santa's cookies and orange juice (the girls' choice - Gianna said, "Santa will like it because it's different!")

Just a small sip of Santa's juice, please???

Now off to bed... the work begins...

These stockings are STUFFED! Isabella's loot - note the Mermaid Dora, as requested!

Gianna's loot - includes "Rarity", "Minty", and "Princess Wysteria", also as requested.

Andrew's new toy, a rocker that eventually turns into a tricycle for us to push, then a tricycle he can ride on his own!

I can't wait until the girls see this in the morning!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ! !

Another December activity...

We did the pine cone/peanut butter/birdseed thing for our fine feathered friends...

Gingerbread house

Mike made a gingerbread home with the girls earlier this month...

Visit with Santa

And what followed was this...

Poor Andrew... he just doesn't like Santa... yet.

Last week of school 2009

Andrew

Andrew loves wearing his firefighter hat. I have to get a picture of him from behind, it's about half his size from behind!

My birthday present

For my birthday I got something I've wanted for years, real Wellies (Hunter Wellingtons)! The girls love modeling them!
