Merry Christmas!

We had a relaxing Christmas weekend at home this year. It was just our family. We opened presents alone. I made Christmas breakfast for us. We did leave the house to Robert's parents for Christmas dinner, but other than that, we just stayed at home and watched movies, and played together. It was kind of nice to not have to go anywhere for a few days and just be together. That doesn't happen very often, so we soaked it up.
As I sit here typing, I am looking at my husband taking a much needed nap by me, baby Layla napping in her seat by the couch, and Alyssa snuggled by the Christmas tree playing her Leapster. (Bella still napping in her bed) I feel just a small slice of heaven. Quiet, stillness, peace, love, and safety. These are the feelings I feel right now. Although I miss my family in Wyoming during the holidays, there is no place I'd rather be than right here.

 The girls frosting the sugar cookies for Santa to come Christmas Eve. It was funny to me how focused they were on it.
 The girls opened one gift on Christmas Eve. It was a family gift from my brother Travis. It is a game called Zingo. Bingo with a Zing! It helps teach the kids Spanish words while playing Bingo. They girls loved it!

 The girls setting the cookies and milk for Santa before bed.

 Christmas morning with their stockings and pillow pets from Santa. They have been begging for those darn pillow pets everytime we go to the store. Mom- It guess it is like I was with the poppels. :)

Thank you Tamara for helping us surprise Alyssa with her Leapster. She has been on that thing non stop for 2 days!
 The girls being artistic with their new art easel and art supplies.

 Me and Layla on Christmas Day. Check her shirt out! "All mommy wants for Christmas is a Silent Night

Layla and her stocking my mom made for her. She wasn't really into Christmas this year. She was happy Christmas morning though.

See you in 2011!
