Ahhh...Christmas...it was a really fun one this year with the babies being almost 3. They were very excited about putting the tree up and helping decorate it, talking and asking lots about Santa and singing along to the "Elf" soundtrack every time we got in the car! Brad and I got so sick of hearing that cd we once loved, we were happy to put it away for another year. We took them to see Santa at his house in the mall ;) of course on the way their they were so excited and couldn't wait to see him and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. They had both practiced it so many times...when asked...Lilly would say "I'm gonna tell Santa I want a barbie"! Asher would say "and I want Handy Manny"...seemed simple enough. As you can see from the pictures, this is as far as they got! Lilly didn't sit on his lap nor did she tell him what she wanted, instead she held onto Aunt Shelly for dear life and cried. Asher got as far as standing in line with daddy...he wouldn't even walk up to him, let alone sit on his lap! Oh well, maybe next year. Christmas morning was also lots of fun, Nana, Aunt Shelly and Becky and cousin Brennen all spent the night so we could all wake up together on Christmas morning. It was so cute to see the look on their faces when they came down the stairs to find presents under the tree, some wrapped and some unwrapped and to see that Santa had eaten his cookies we left out! Unlike last year, they tore open their presents with noooo problem and most importantly they were old enough this year to some what understand why we celebrate Christmas and asked lots of questions about baby Jesus too.
