Christmas Morning 2011

This was a VERY quiet Christmas for us this year (holiday season in general!!)
We had no company so we spent it with just the four of us for a change! Kind of nice!! 
But I do miss the family!! :(
With Hanukkah and Christmas overlapping this year it made the gifts go farther! So each of the kids only had a few gifts to open Christmas morning, and actually focused on those items!! Imagine that! Nothing went to the wayside!! We opened presents, had a yummy breakfast, and relaxed. Then after naps we headed to a fun night with friends!
 In true kid style, Abby got up at 7am (15 min early than normal...) and at 7:30 when Maddy was still asleep, she begged us to wake her up! So we opened her door...and seconds later out came a bright a cheery Madelyn! Abby opened her stocking and surveyed the loot with Roxy!
 Opening their remote control kid cars from Grma Smith (SO MUCH FUN!!)
 Mommy got her own iPAD!! I am in LOVE with this unit. I use it for everything, but lately, its my recipe book extraordinaire, my skype unit, email, blog, facebook.....you name it.....it does it! FAST and COMPACT little thing! No need for a laptop when you have this!!
 Trying to jump rope!!
 Maddy and her expressions. She stood, arms crossed, with a straight look on her face....no clue what she was protesting at the moment :)
Mini pancakes and egg-sausage bake!
