The girls wanted a Barbie Vet Table this year for Christmas. CJ even said the blessing on our Christmas Eve finger food dinner and prayed that they would be able to have fun with the Vet Table on Christmas, it was really sweet. Well, Santa couldn't resist:
They really loved it. They didn't react quite as big as I thought they would, but they were really happy. Jersey was really happy too because she got a bunch of new chew toys for Christmas.We started off by having our traditional hot chocolate, cardamom bread, and fruit salad breakfast. Then we divvied up the presents and started to open them:
The girls were really cute about opening their presents. They helped each other open each others presents:
And then by the end they were opening ALL our presents. I didn't open my last two or three, the girls did it for me. It was really fun. They got some new clothes, Barbie movies, some toys, books, the Barbie Vet Table, and new leg warmers (a lady in our ward that I visit teach makes these for a business and makes hats and hair things to go with):
The girls were so excited about their new leg warmers. They put them on and started dancing around like the little ballerinas they are. Spencer had fun opening his gifts too. He got a laser remote control car that drives on the walls and drives me nuts (from the girls), a remote controlled helicopter, a transformer, ginger ale, and socks. Lots and lots and LOTS of socks (he's been using mine and now I don't have any):
So he wouldn't know that the gift he was opening was socks, I put a little something in the bottom of the box that made it a little heavier:
Our George Forman Grill. He thought it was pretty funny. Among other things, I got a new stereo for our bedroom and a baguette pan so I can make baguettes and not burn towels. Also among other things, my mom got curtains for her room with a curtain rod and a light for her closet. Santa gave the family a Wii and a Wii Fitness Plus. I can't believe we have missed out on all this fun! We wish Anthony and Rachel were still here because we think they would really love it, especially the Tennis (of which I am terribly sore!). We really had a lot of fun for Christmas:After their bath the girls wanted to go outside and play in the snow. Spencer and I had got them some long johns, snow boots, and hats for Christmas and GeeWah had got them some nice warm gloves so they got all ready:
And headed outside. Jersey had fun playing with them too:
Spencer went outside with the girls while I tried out the Wii, tee hee!! He later told me that Avary would try to do Snow Angels in the snow, but then Jersey would come and start licking her face. She didn't get a Snow Angel done, but maybe today since it is snowing again, WOO HOO!!We fed the Missionaries last night for Christmas dinner. We had prime rib, mashed sweet potatoes, pomegranate salad (courtesy of my mother-in-law), asparagus, fresh rolls, and Spencer made a Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. It was so yummy! I think prime rib is going to be our traditional Christmas dinner.
Merry Christmas and lots of love!!
