| It's Christmas Eve and "Buddy" the Elf's last night with us before he flies back to spend the year with Santa at the North Pole. Brynn had so much fun finding Buddy every morning and she was VERY good at it! |
 |
| Getting our carrots ready for the reindeer (hope they like their carrots shredded!) and cookies and milk for Santa... |
 |
| This was too funny... I moved Brooklyn over so she could be a part of the experience as well and within seconds she reaches on in for a cookie. Just watch Brynn in these next few pictures. She put Brooklyn in her place! |
 |
| "Listen - we do not mess with Santa's cookies, understand?!" |
 |
| She didn't like that too much. This is the story of our life... one screaming and the other one cracking up! |
 |
| This is our tree BEFORE we even put our presents under there! Thank you everyone for taking such good care of us - we love you all. You did way too much but we love everything and appreciate it VERY much! XOXO |
 |
| The gifts from Santa (minus "conehead" Jack!) |
 |
| The children were nestled all snug in their beds... |
 |
| The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... (or entertainment center!) |
 |
| Brynn and Brooklyn's special stockings from Donnie - so cute! |
 |
| Merry Christmas sleepy head! Brooklyn was the first one up and although she looks really sleepy, she didn't waste time opening up a present. At least she picked one of hers! |
 |
| Brynn loved her kitchen set from Santa and grabbed the phone right away to make some important thank you calls to the North Pole! |
 |
| I think she's giving me that "no more pictures" look! Well, too bad! |
 |
| Goofy girls! |
 |
| Brynn loved getting the gifts from under the tree and would unwrap one, then go play with it for a while. Brooklyn, just wanted to eat everything! Daddy was busy putting everything together. |
 |
| What's in here?! |
 |
| Ooh - a Princess Castle! |
 |
| Their farm set... or a fun box to climb on! |
 |
| Baby Brooke and Mommy! |
 |
| I love Christmas!!! |
 |
| Snagging a candy cane. The LAST thing this girl needs is more sugar! |
 |
| Taking a break to make a gingerbread train! |
 |
| Choo Choo... the finished product! (A day later...) |
 |
| One of the highlights from Christmas 2012 was the $3 Sit and Spin from Goodwill. Who would have thought?! |
 |
| Wheeeeeeeeee |
 |
| Of course little Miss Brooklyn would not want to SIT on it. "Can't we stand and spin?!" |
 |
| She loves it! |
 |
| We did a pretty good job of cleaning up as we go and still it looks like a mini tornado! Merry Christmas everyone!! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Thanks for helping to make ours so special! XOXO |
