Did You Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas?

Hope you had a great Christmas, too!!

Getting the Hershey Kiss pretzels, carrots, apples and egg nog ready for Santa and his reindeer. When we woke up Christmas morning, there were crunched up carrots all over our back porch and yard! That's a good sign! ...
New Christmas PJs are a tradition (Hudson's already asleep)...
 Ella and Brooklyn were up around 6:30'ish, but stayed in bed till around 7am. We woke up Kendall and Hudson and headed downstairs to see if Santa made it to our house and if we were good enough to get a gift...
 Ella got a Crayola Color Wheel, Legos, snow boots and a few other goodies...
 Of course, this was Hudson's first Christmas and he had no idea what was going on. I think he was pretty upset he didn't get his breakfast at the usual time. However, he did seem excited about his new sippy cups...
 Brooklyn got a veterinarian kit complete with xrays, stethoscope, scale, charts, scrubs, etc. She also got her very first Lego set, shoes and other goodies ...
 Ryan and the girls tried hard to teach Hudson how to open a present, but he wasn't all that interested. He did enjoy taking the girls' gifts that had already been opened... 
 Kendall was thrilled when she opened up her twin American Girl dolls... a girl and a boy. She started playing with them immediately while Ella and Brooklyn opened some of her other gifts for her. She also got an ice cream maker from Hudson, her own kitchen apron, rolling pin and cookie cutters...
 Ella played "Santa" and handed out the presents...
 Ella bought me this ring at her school "Christmas Store." I gave Ella and Brooklyn five dollars each to spend on the whole family's Christmas gifts at the school store (yes, that's only $1 per person). They did such a great job carefully selecting their gifts for each person...
 Getting some help opening one of my gifts...
 Kendall got twin American Girl dolls for Christmas. Who knew the twin dolls would be such a hit with Brooklyn, too?! Luckily, Kendall was nice enough to share one with Brooklyn all day long. They had so much fun playing with them together and it was nice that they were actually getting along for once!... 
 Still wondering where his breakfast is...
 The girls were excited to get the Despicable Me 2 DVD... 
 Ryan enjoyed all the gift cards in his stocking while Brooklyn was busy giving her new puppy a check up...
 Possible future vet like her grandpa Asay?...
 Kendall sat on the couch all morning playing with all of the things she got. She's wearing half of them... the boots, the apron, the pjs ...
 Maybe Hudson's new walker will get him moving on two legs? Hmmmm, do I want that?...
 The Lego sets have taken over the kitchen...
