This one makes me laugh because it shows how funny Bella is getting. She decides to forget the rules and shove the eggs into the hippos mouth on her own.

Christmas Footage for my Family...
She is very grateful, then notice how quickly she shifts to hunting for the next gift to open. Hmmm...maybe we need to work on that a little more. ?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Christmas morning finally came and all the preparation, presents, and anticipation is all over! The girls woke us up around 7:30am, which was very generous since I can remember waking my parents up as early as 5:30am when I was a child. (sorry mom and dad) The girls were thrilled with what Santa brought them. Alyssa asked me last night on our way home from a family dinner if I thought she had been good enough to get some presents from Santa? I told her we'd have to wait and see? Yes, we do believe in Santa Clause in the Wallace house. I think it is a magical theory that bring extra excitment, surprise, and fun to our children. Why not let them ride that ride until they are old enough to wonder different. I don't believe that any harm is done by this, and I don't intend to use it as a disiplinary tool to make my children behave through the year. I have heard lots of parents chatting about this, and I think it is plain silly. Let the children have a little fun! I think you are overthinking it a little! Santa Clause has nothing to do with the Birth of Jesus or our belief in Jesus Christ. They are totally seperate things. One is spiritual and one is completely commercial. When older, your children will understand that. So enough said about that. In keeping with the Peterson/Busteed family tradition, we had a yummy breakfast of hot pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hot chocolate. I think we consumed all our calories for the day in meal, but it's Christmas! We are now relaxing and enjoying watching the girls play with their toys together. It is nice to not have anywhere to go or anything to do. To just be together and breathe. Here are some pictures of the this morning. To my family far away, I hope you know how much we love you and miss you on this day. Merry Christmas!
Alyssa is turning into quite the artist. She loves to draw and will sit for hours doing it. Which really says something if you know Alyssa. She doesn't sit still for much.
The girls playing hair salon together.
The girls building with blocks together.
Look! We got a White Christmas! It started snowing on Christmas Eve and we it was so nice to wake up on Christmas morning to this outside. It made me feel like I was in Wyoming again.
This is the snow dift off our back porch.
Bella was very excited about her new disney toothbrush. How nice to be able to bring such joy to them with so little at this age.
Alyssa very concentrated on opening her gift. She was more into than ever this year.
