And, it's CHRISTMAS!!!

Dad reading the Christmas story to his girls.

This one says Talullah!  She can recognize the "T", so she knows.

Go Padres!

What?!  No way.  A trip to The Spa?!?!

Go, Berlyn, Go!

Stocking time!

It was all just too much action for Havanna.

She's ready for her scooter, too!

Talullah is taking pictures with her very own camera.
Wearing the scarf I made her, all the bows she got,  and ready to read another princess story.
Good job, Nana.  Berlyn loves her Minnie Mouse!
Talullah and daddy.

And, the grand finale... the BOUNCE HOUSE!!!

I've never seen Berlyn in such a deep sleep.  Operation Christmas: Success!


 Wow.  First presents from Grammy.  Then Christmas Eve at Uncle Nates.  Now Christmas day and we're celebrating even more?!?!  We had Nana and Papa over after a quiet morning with just our family.  The girls woke up at 7.   We were all in my bed and when Talullah opened her eyes, I whispered "Merry Christmas." She grinned ear to ear told her sleeping daddy.  "It's CHRISTMAS!!!"  There was no sleeping after that.  We jumped up to shower and prepare for the day.  We ate some of the delicious left over cinnamon rolls while dad read the Christmas story from the Jesus Storybook Bible.  Then, Talullah decided she wanted to read her 'favorite' story, which ended up being about Joseph.  She obviously wasn't in a hurry for the presents.  We called Papa and Nana and they came over with even more gifts.  We can't wait for sunny days to take the scooters outside or to blow up the bounce house and have friends over.  It's not about the presents, I know.  But what a blessing.  What a blessing that God has given us so much.  So many friends and family who love and spoil our family all year round.  I look at the array of cards that covers ever inch of space on the piano, and I'm truly amazed.  We live a wonderful life.  Merry Christmas to all, and too all a good night!
