Christmas Recap

I hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas! Here is our recap, told through pictures.

Shawn and I had a ridiculously good time playing "Santa"...filling stockings and loading the tree full of presents (we weren't able to have ANY presents under the tree until Samara went to bed Christmas Eve night since she doesn't follow the concept of "hands off!"). Notice our tree, no decorations within an arm's reach of a 19 month old toddler!

We got Samara's big present all prepped and ready to play with. It's probably the most organized it will EVER be!
We had a rough night with Presley and neither of us got much sleep. At one point (3:30am, I think?!), Shawn asked me if we should just open presents then! Sam cooperated by sleeping in until 8:30am. In fact, we were anxiously waiting for her to wake up so we could get started!

She was absolutely thrilled. She really "got it" this year. She eagerly tore open presents (not always just her own!) and oooh-ed and aahhh-ed over everything.
Presley slept through the whole thing. Must have been very tired after not sleeping all night!

She did wake up later to put on her cute Santa outfit...bought by Mom and Bill when we weren't sure if we were getting a Santa Claus or a Mrs. Claus! Doesn't she look cute? And just a bit like a boy?!Samara was busy cooking in her kitchen all day.
Best Christmas gifts ever, 2 precious little girls. I'm already excited for next year!

And our first non-gassy smile from our littlest one!
Happy Holidays! Much love to you all!
