Christmas Day

The scene on Christmas Morning! I couldn't sleep all night because I was so worried the girls were going to wake up before me and I would miss their reaction! They finally woke up at 7 and Jeff wanted to make them go back to bed, but I was ready to wake up! We always video them coming in to the room, but I think my videos are too big to upload to blogger or something because it never works. Anyway, the girls came out and went straight for the dollhouse from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Frank. They LOVED it! Cheyenne said, "I always wanted one of these!" Which I thought was so funny, because she had never asked for one, but she was so excited to get it. Berkeley said, "Look she's taking a bath!" and took the doll out of the bath tub who was wearing a swimsuit. Then she said, "I wanna go to the beach!" Also, it was funny because I had grabbed all these little toys I had in a box in the bonus room to add to the dollhouse (like these littlest pet shop Mcdonald's toys and stuff), they forgot they were already theirs and were excited about getting those as well!

 I thought it was a Barbie dollhouse, but the Barbies are a little big....

 After about 20 minutes of playing with the dollhouse, Berkeley looked up and yelled, "BIKES!!!!! BIKES!!!" It was so funny. I was so excited about the bike for Berkeley, but she can't even reach the pedals yet!!! She just pushes herself around with her feet though. Cheyenne is loving her bike and Rapunzel fits in the basket perfectly. Cheyenne can ride around the entire neighborhood, but she gets off and walks it down the big hills because she doesn't feel safe!

 The little giant eyed cat in Cheyenne's stocking "Cashmere" was also one of the biggest hits of Christmas.

We had the dollhouse in the front room and the girls played with it all the time. We have since moved it to the playroom and it hasn't gotten the same amount of attention, so I am thinking about putting back in the living room.

 It was surprising because Berkeley loves the dollhouse the most. You would think it would be more of a toy for older kids, but Berkeley is always playing with it more than Cheyenne. I will go in the playroom and she will be in there playing with it by herself.

 Jeff played Santa as usual and handed out all the gifts.

 Cheyenne and Rapunzel. She loves pretending she is Rapunzel's Mommy and I am the Grandma.

Berkeley trying to be just like her big sister... she is Cinderella's mommy:)

Sitting in the dirty clothes hamper, eating fishy crackers, watching the Grinch, while dressed as Princesses Cinderella and Rapunzel. This is the life for a 2 and 4 year old!

 Christmas Day was fun, opening presents, seeing the look on the girls' faces when they saw that Santa had come and brought presents and ate his cookies and milk! I remember my Mom used to take a picture by me with all my gifts and it is fun now to look back and remember what I got and which toys became my favorite, etc. I always want to do that with the girls but they wont hold still and gathering up their toys is impossible because they just pick it up, start playing with it and drop it somewhere else, so that is something I want to start in the next couple of years when they get a little older. 

It has been a month ago now, but let's see if I can remember what they got for documenting sake. Cheyenne got $25 from Grandpa Bob and Mrs. Karen, A Rapunzel doll with matching dress (santa), a princess bike with training wheels and a basket for Rapunzel (santa), a dollhouse to share with Berks (Gma Connie and Gpa Frank), a dress with tights (gma&gpa C&F), shoes (gma&gpa C&F), yellow skinny jeans/shirt (gma & gpa Janet & Bill),  three books (gma &gpa C&F& J&B), the Grinch movie (C&F), A beanie boo cat named Cashmere (santa), princess bubble bath, a spinny toothbrush , Shrek bandaids, fishy crackers, a ring pop, powerade(santa), and a sleeping bag(grandma sylvia & gpa steve), oh and some cinnamon letter cookies (from gma&gpa C&F).

Berkeley got $25 from Grandpa Bob and Mrs. Karen, A Cinderella doll with matching dress, a Dora bike with a seat that lifts up to put stuff in, a beanie baby Boots doll, Dora bubble bath, a Dora spinny toothbrush, colored bandaids, fishy crackers, a ring pop, powerade (all from Santa),a dress that matches Cheyenne's with tights, 3 books, the grinch movie, doll house to share with Cheyenne, and cinnamon letter cookies, (gma Connie & Gpa Frank),  and a sleeping bag (Grandma Sylvia & Grandpa Steve).

Jeff got some gift cards (olive garden, visa, kroger, itunes), some clippers to cut his hair, some nice headphones, portable speakers, some cologne, socks, oreos, m&ms, powerade, some laundry hampers (to share with me) with covers,

I got some cheetah shoes and a dress from my sister, a shark steam mop, a laser printer, some new sheets for Jeff and I, a really pretty red sweater, a cute black jacket, some gift cards (kroger, visa), some chocolate covered pretzels, face wash, face lotion, chocolates, hot tamales.

I feel like I am forgetting something, but anyway, we loved all the gifts we got and had so much fun opening them:) It was great Christmas. After we opened presents, we just napped, played with our presents, and relaxed, watched Christmas movies and ate leftovers from Christmas Eve dinner.
