Merry Christmas!! Santa actually came! :)

It was up in the air...and back and forth as to if Santa was going to allow the girls to be on the 'nice' list this year!! I think it was a struggle for him some days!!................

BUT...

They did end up on the nice list per Ella Jingle, so Alexis was relieved!! :) :)

The girls woke up extra early and were SO excited to see what all Santa brought them!

Alexis was more thrilled to see that Santa drank the milk and ate the cookies that she put out for him!

The girls had a great Christmas morning with playing with everything that Santa brought before getting ready and going to Nan and Pawpaw's to open gifts and eat Christmas lunch! YUM!!

After we left Nan and Pawpaw's, we headed to Nannie and Hogan's for Christmas day..night..Reese Christmas for dinner and more presents! SO fun!!

Santa came...Santa came!! Whoo hoo!!
Lily had to try on her Frozen pajama dress that Santa brought!!
Alexis loves her hot pink slippers!!
Then Lily had to try on her Doc McStuffin's doc outfit!!
And ride around our living room and dining room on her new scooter!!
We got cleaned up and headed to Nan and Pawpaw's for lunch and presents!

The girls love opening gifts!!
Alexis and Daddy testing out Alexis' new keyboard that she got!
Next on the stop...Nannie and Hogan's! The whole crew there to eat dinner, open gifts and play Dirty Santa!

Alexis loves her porcelain doll

Never a dull moment!! 'A Christmas Story!!'...Reese style!!
This little stinker is such a stinker! She wouldnt let Meg's leg go! Meagan had to drag her around! :)

Christmas Eve 2014!

The girls were BEYOND excited about Santa coming! This year Alexis was really into understanding what it was all about and just being super excited about it. Lily really didnt have a clue, but she was excited every time Alexis would say Santa is coming in X number of days!! :)

We headed to our Church for their Christmas Eve service. I love love love this special time so that they girls understand why were are truly celebrating Christmas. We sang a ton of Christmas songs, did Communion, listened to Pastor Chris and then we all lit candles and sang Silent Night before leaving! It was so beautiful!

After Church, we headed to Gran's to eat Christmas Eve dinner and open presents. The girls were too excited to eat and had the presents laid out for everyone by the time we were done eating!

When we got home the girls ran straight to get in their pjs, Alexis put out the cookies that we had made earlier in the day for Santa, and they were both off to bed!!

My little family of four opened our gifts to each other! I love my little family! Alexis and Lily loved giving Daddy and I our gifts! :)



Lily opening her gift from Alexis and Alexis opening her gift from Lily!!..............and excitement was so sweet!!
And they LOVE what they each picked out for the other!!

All the kids....and grand kids....and great grand kids................. get to eat and catch up...

We dont really open presents, we watch them and just enjoy seeing them get together! :)

Last night Tyler and I had another date night/Christmas party! This was a 'Tacky sweater' party like mine was so I got to use my Thrift Store ugly Christmas sweater again! :)  I added some jingle bell earrings for this party to 'jazz it up' some!! :)  Tyler was being a party pooper and didnt dress up so when we got over to the Fritts' Carrie put some Christmas bows on him!! :) :)
Our tacky Christmas sweaters!!
Carrie was a great host!
Church morning!! We met Nan, Pawpaw and Brandi to eat lunch after Church! The girls did some posing for me!...
Let me just say..it is HARD to get these two stinkers to take a decent picture! I usually get this and have to retake...and retake...and retake......
When came straight home from lunch and headed to the Morris Christmas party!
Love my Christmas babies! :)
