Christmas, 2011

So, our Christmas was a bit low-key this year. We didn't have any out-of-town visitors, it was just the 4 of us this year. We were able to do some fun stuff, but really we kept it close to home. It was a very nice holiday.

Scout and I didn't do any presents for each other this year. We really couldn't think of anything we wanted. When we look at our 2 beautiful daughters, we know we have everything we could ever want. I think this holiday, we both felt so grateful for the good blessings that have come our way. Giving birth to the Bean this year after such a long time of trying to have a second baby, we know how lucky we are......our little family is complete. And also knowing that she healthy, and happy..........what more could we want?

How cute are these elves?





Every year, we make cookies on Christmas Eve...this year, we made the best ones yet....perfect cookie dough...not too sticky, rolled out easily. The icing was just stiff enough to stay on the cookies....and they tasted REALLY good......Santa really enjoyed them.

On Christmas morning, this is what the girls woke up to...not a bad haul.....


Mo got her Barbie Town House, which she has been asking for and wanting FOREVER.....

She also got a few other goodies, which made her heart sing...the only thing that her Mommies aren't too excited with is the Love's Baby Soft perfume which was in her sticking....we really should think these things out before we get them for her. Mo doesn't understand how much is "enough" when it comes to perfume. She believes "more is better."


Of course, Mo had to show the Bean how Christmas is done......notice the look of concentration of the babies face....she is really learning!



Santa was also good to the baby, she loves this little snail thing with a mirror on it.


All in all, a very nice holiday.
