Carly was, of course, the most fun to watch. At two and a half, she is just taking in every minute! I have never seen so much pink and purple in one spot before. She loves everything GIRL!

Chase wasn't quite as excited as Logan. Logan tried to wake him up two times - to no avail. Finally, I had to get him. Once he came too, he was really excited. He was especially thrilled to get the skateboard he asked for!

Logan woke up at 12:45 (Santa had finished at 12:30) to tell us that Santa had come. I told him he had to go back to bed until morning, but he was shaking with exctiement, so I let him lie in our bed until about 2am. He, of course, was the first one up at 6am!

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve, we celebrated with the cousins! We had fancy French Dip sandwiches while the kids chowed down on mini corn dogs. We decorated cookies for Santa and his reindeer. Aunt Stacy read a story, then Santa's elves left wrapped pajamas for the kids at the front door. We all got in our pj's and watched a Christmas movie. It was quite a night!!

THE POLAR EXPRESS!

Santa left a letter for the kids with tickets to THE POLAR EXPRESS. It was freeeeezing at the North Pole, which is why Chase is trying to layer his hats instead of focusing on the task at hand! The kids got to ride the train, have cookies and hot chocolate, sing Christmas songs, read The Polar Express, and last, but of course, not least, they met SANTA and Mrs. Clause!

THE GIRLS!!! Too bad only one is happy about it...

Logan and Chase... tweedle dee and tweedle dum (you decide which one is which). It's impossible to take a picture of these two together. This is as good as it gets.

Carly Decorating!

This one was Carly's idea. I had just done her hair to go to grandma's for Thanksgiving. I told her she looked pretty, so she asked me to take a picture. She's a "poser", just like her mamma!

Tree Decorating!

These are the chickees' after they decorated the tree - it was their idea to get a picture (I would have dressed them all the same if it was my idea!!!)
