A toddler Christmas

We had so much fun with Christmas this year, because our twins are finally able to "get" the concept of Santa. We loved telling the stories about Santa and the reindeer, and how they would get presents in the morning, etc. They were very into it, and even loved reciting all of the names of the reindeer. We left cookies out for Santa to eat overnight, and of course, had the fun of showing that only crumbs were left in the morning!

The fun is about to begin here...

Hailey gets new princess shoes with shiny silver stars on them...

Oh, and another pair of princess shoes.... these are bright silver

Drew gets his first set of golf clubs!

Daddy gets a fun new game we just learned about from our friends, the Durrs. (Very fun, if you like word games!)

Hails gets yet another kitty cat stuffed animal! This one is from our dear neighbor, Nana Sue.

Greta isn't quite sure what to make of it all, but she is having fun with all of the sparkling bows and ribbons...

A new princess dress! Complete with "angel wings," as Hailey calls them...

Isn't this the most perfect picture? One of my favorites. Our sweet little princess... golfing! this totally sums up her adventuresome, yet girly personality!!!

We have had beautiful weather, and so we enjoyed a long walk on Xmas. Greg's mom Judy is with us for the week as well, and we are loving both her company and her help!

Nana Sue joined us for the walk ... she is just like part of our family!
