Christmas Eve

[click here to enlarge]

- delicious turkey dinner
- a random power nap, suggested by jill, that was completely needed and did the trick (i didn't sleep well the night before)
- watching how excited Andrew was to open up his gifts
- seeing Megan walk around showing everyone her stash (as if they didn't watch her opening them)
- giving the gratitude books I made to Lori, Kathy, Jill, & Robyn
- gift opening being much calmer this year and actually getting to see what everyone got
- the gift of books (almost everyone walked out of there with something to read)
- Bella & Tess excited about their new jewelry

Christmas morning

- sleeping in til 8am (my parents came over and had to wake us up)
- opening the gifts each of my girls made for Adam and I...I'm such a fan of homemade gifts
- the baby that wouldn't stop crying (Megan got a doll from Santa that cried...I didn't know it did that)
- adam helping dress the baby
- bella a little too excited to get the nintendo ds...is that possible?
- my parents loving the book I made for them
- tess attempting to ride her heelys all over the house (i think she's getting the hang of it now)
- cozy fire
- old barstools I received from Adam for my studio desk
- grateful to have found zhu zhu pets as they were as big a hit as you can imagine...she hasn't stopped playing with them
- big delicious Christmas breakfast with my parents and our friends

I'm so glad the power nap did the trick, I knew you two weren't going to make it if you were yawning by 4:00pm!

Thanks so much for the awesome gratitude journal, it's gorgeous!

I can't believe your parents had to wake you guys up on Christmas morning!! Our kids woke us up at 6:25!

I am so NOT a fan of toys that make noises so a crying doll would have to get "lost". Whitney got a zhu zhu pet and I'm not super keen on its noises either.
