Christmas Day

Our Christmas Day was probably much like everyone else's: opening gifts, eating yummy food, talking to families, etc. It was a lovely day though. 


It's become a tradition to tape wrapping paper over the entryway leading to the girls' bedrooms on Christmas Eve. Then Christmas morning they get to break through and run out to see their gifts.
The video we took of the girls coming out is too long to post here, but Russ and I were both touched at the way Kaylee and Ashlyn first followed the younger girls over to their gifts - a slide for McKell and a bike for Brenna - before even looking at what they had each received.

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa! Just what Kaylee wanted!!!

Kaylee and Ashlyn FINALLY got tablets, Ash spent a lot of time taking pictures and videos.
Brenna and McKell also got a box full of new princess dress-ups.
The biggest surprise this year was for Ashlyn -
a trip to Chicago over New Year's to meet her new cousin Isaac.
And here's the video of Ashlyn opening her special gift (you may want to turn your sound way down):
