Operation Christmas : Completed

We had such a great Christmas surrounded by friends and family.  We started on Wednesday before Christmas exchanging with Aunt Singne, The Wilde's, and then Wogan's.  It was very busy but allowed us to relax more on actual Christmas morning.  We all got spoiled by each other and are so appreciative of everyone who bought us gifts this year.  The girls are still playing with all their new toys and mom is still trying to figure out where to put it all.  Here are some of our fun exchanges.  We hung out with Aunt Singne first.  She brought over a gingerbread princess castle for her and the girls to decorate and then exchanged presents.   Thanks Aunt Singne!


Aunt Singne got these fairy grand entrance hangers for their bedroom doors.  They are very cool and very pretty.  The girls love them!!

Then is was over to the Trevor's sister house to do more exchanging.  This year grandma and grandpa got the girls a lemonade stand.  What a great gift.  They pretend to sell lemonade, ice cream and whatever else they can fit in their stand.  It is a great way to see them use their imaginiations! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Here is Peyton selling Cousin Tyler and Presley their lemonade

Then we ended our evening at the Gigi and Papa Wogan's. We ate tamale's and played the White Elephant game.  I have to say Trevor and I did well this year.  Ones junk is anothers treasure :)
Aunt Lindsay and Presley opening some gifts.
Christmas Eve was a great day as well.  We hung out most of the day, went to church and then went of to the Wogan's again for their Christmas Eve party.  I didn't take any pictures but I found these in which Peyton had taken some.  So here are a few of the evening:

Trev and Cousin Grant

The happy couple!
Then finally Christmas morning came.  We got the girls a swing set this year and had it set up on Tuesday so we had to hide this big thing for 3 days.  We Did It!  The girls were so excited and I will try and post the video of their reaction.  We love being Santa!  We also had family over for brunch which is always a treat.  It was great to be in our pajamas the entire day and enjoy all our new things.
The girls
faster...faster...
zhu zhu pets...yay!  These things are fun but they are everywhere.  I am constantly trying not to step on them or lose them.  They have a mind of their own...
Every year Trevor goes out and finds a gift for the girls just from him. This year he found these bath robes... they are so soft.
And then is was finally warm enough for the girls to go outside and play on the swing set!!!  This is where they stayed until the sun went down.

Peyton is queen of the monkey bars.

Aunt Whitney and the girls...she is in town for a few weeks!   We love having her around
