Christmas Morning 2012

The kids made Christmas morning so fun this year!  Especially Macie, she was so excited and grateful for everything!  She kept saying thank you over and over, and "This is the best ever, you guys are the best!" :)  She would hug us after each present, and was just really dramatic about everything, it was really funny.  We were able to go in with Reed's side of the family and help out a family for Christmas this year, which was really good for all of us, but again, especially for Macie. She kept thinking about them and talking about them, and even praying for them. And she was mindful of all she had, so I am wondering if that helped her be so thankful for everything that morning. Macie woke us up that morning and told us Santa had been there.....

Checking out the loot in her stocking.

The cookies & milk and carrots were gone!

Oh yeah!  I got new set of pots and pans!!!  I LOVE them!  Holy cow....big difference from what I had!  I feel like a chef now :) 

Checking out Mommie's stocking.

Allie got this shopping cart from Santa.

She loved it.....I knew she would.

And Macie asked Santa for a the "Barbie Mariposa" movie .  I might have put the idea in her head after I bought it, haha.   In this picture she was twirling around with it....

And screaming.........

And posing for the picture.....hahaha, I told you she was dramatic :)

Allie giving her bunny a ride.

Branson on his bike, I mean "motorcycle," he got from Santa.  As soon as we walked in the living room he went right to it and sat on it.  We asked him if he liked his bike and he said, "MOTORCYCLE."  And every time someone called it a bike he corrected them.  Motorcycles are cooler I guess ;)

Macie when her daddy unveiled her new Barbie house he built her.  She Covered her mouth and  kept backing up until she hit the couch....very dramatic, haha. 

I mod-podged fabric to the walls for wallpaper, but ran out on Christmas Eve, so the walls look really splotchy. She didn't notice, and I'll fix that later.  She absolutely loves it though! She plays with it ever day!   

Allie and the cart :)

"Candy!"
