Minnesota Christmas

After a long week in Iowa we were finally home and ready for our own family Christmas. The girls slept in pretty late so our Christmas didn't start till after 8am. We had a wonderful morning opening presents and playing until it was time to head to grandma Joyce and Paul's house.

My little lady who looks like she has been through the ringer.

One of our new outfits in our dress up chest. We had to put it on before we finished opening gifts.

On to grandma and Paul's house for a wonderful brunch. Alivia starting to open if only she new she would be doing this for the next 2 hours thanks to grandma and Paul's extravaganza gift opening.

Ella enjoying one of her new toys.

As you can see Alivia changes many times through out the gift opening. If something new was more interesting we put it on.

Here is Alivia's new dance floor. The girls tried it out and it was pretty cool.

dance...dance....dance

On to papa and nana's house for dinner and more fun. Alivia enjoying some cereal at the table.
