Merry Christmas Part Two

I actually posted this a few days ago but the computer crashed and I lost my work! Serves me right for not saving a draft. At any rate, here we go again - Two nights before the night before Christmas, Donald and I had some family and friends over. We love having company over and really enjoyed seeing the children chase each other around and tear into their presents. They spent most of their time in the new Dora tent (courtesy of Aunt Liz) and chowing down on Ritz crackers (as evidence by the trail of crumbs all over the house - and in my bed!). We are blessed to have family so close all around us and to finally have the space for celebrating together in our home. I've also included a video clip of Christmas morning. A little dark, as videos with our camera tend to be, but still pretty fun. Hope you enjoy the pictures and are having a wonderful holiday season!

A Christmas morning video - Emily was still pretty sleepy, but she went straight for the big wheel. She's been asking about it all day while we've been visiting family and was really excited to come back home and find it still here in the living room!

Emily seems to think that she should build something on top of the present instead of open it.

Why is it that the box is always so much fun?

Abby and her new twin doll from Aunt Liz.

Santa Don treated us to a reading of The Night Before Christmas but Abby was the only one disciplined enough to sit still and listen. The others were hiding in the new tent.

Crashed out with her new pal - lifesize (well, almost) Dora.
