We put the baby gate upstairs and told the girls to yell out, \u201cIt\u2019s Christmas!\u201d when they were ready to come downstairs on Christmas morning to see if Santa left any toys.  While I was dreaming, I heard, \u201cIt\u2019s Christmas!\u201d  I jumped out of bed and yelled at Mike, \u201cIt\u2019s Christmas!\u201d  It was hilarious!  We were all so excited!!! <\/p>\n

The telephone was Anna Kate\u2019s favorite present, and she didn\u2019t even wish for it\u2026 who knew!?!<\/p>\n

Rose took 3 steps all by herself on Christmas morning!  We are so proud of her!<\/p>\n

I got a new wallet this summer, and it came with a check book that I don\u2019t need, so I gave it to Noelle and she loves it so much!!!<\/p>\n

Rose and Noelle took turns playing the harmonica that was in Anna Kate\u2019s stocking while Anna Kate had a little tea party!<\/p>\n

Noelle was dancing a jig for us and all of the girls were happily playing with their new toys\u2026 it was so cool!  Mike and I were just sitting there watching and playing them for hours.  There\u2019s nothing I\u2019d rather be do on Christmas morning!<\/p>\n

Mike gave me a pair of Hanes socks (my favorite!) and an orange!  These are both inside jokes, but I really do get them every year\u2026 Anna Kate went to the potty, so that was a cool Christmas present, but it would be really cool if it was the gift that keeps on giving if ya know what I mean!  <\/p>\n

Mike and I had this cool idea to make a cinnamon roll Christmas tree, and we let the girls decorate them with sprinkles\u2026 easy, quick, fun and festive!  I think we\u2019ll make this a tradition.  It was lots of fun and so delicious!<\/p>\n

Rose was getting sleepy and ready for her nap (she\u2019s not used to waking up so early in the morning), so we put her down for her nap, but the big girls were anxiously awaiting for Poppa and Rara to arrive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
