Week 16: opening gifts on christmas morning

Since we went to Oklahoma for Christmas, Santa came to our house a little early. Christmas was a lot of fun this year because the girls, especially Emily really understood about Santa and wanted to make sure that she was a good girl so he would come to our house. They also made cookies for Santa. Ben tried to convince them that Santa actually likes Oreo's but they didn't go for that and wanted to make him some.
The pajama elf comes to our house on Christmas Eve and brings us all pajamas to wear for Christmas morning.

Here they are Christmas morning getting ready to open presents...Emily went to bed that night around 8 and woke up at 10 wanting to know if Santa had come yet. She stayed up until 1230 to keep coming out and check if Santa had come.
All Emily wanted for Christmas was a dollhouse and princess castle and she and Annie were good girls and Santa brought them a dollhouse. They love it!
Santa also came to Oklahoma for the kids too, here are a couple pictures of them with some presents

Later that day the made Christmas trees out of ice cream cones and frosting with their cousins. Emily took it pretty seriously and did a good job
and Annie ate the frosting.
Overall, it was a great Christmas and we had a lot of fun and got to spend a lot of time together, which was really nice.
And last, here is a video of the girls opening their dollhouse.
