Christmas 2009

We spent the Christmas holiday with my family. The girls love visiting their Grandma Ferris, but my sister Torrey, has a puppy named Winston that they are afraid of. In a unique display of sisterly affection, Taylor is protecting Kadie from him while they watch Dora a few days before Christmas.

I love the family tradition that we have in which we get to open one present on Christmas Eve. The girls opened pj's from the Ferris family this year and here they are modeling...

"Santa" pooled money with Grandma and Grandpa Ferris and brought the girls a dollhouse for Christmas. The appeal is that it has two sides so they could play together without fighting, but after watching them fight over sides today, I guess that was a lofty dream. However, they love moving the furniture around and seem pretty happy with it. I love miniatures growing up and I think that this is every little girl's dream. I think they will enjoy this gift for years to come.

And last, but not least, the traditional picture of the other Christmas gifts. The girls got lots of adorable gifts including books, puzzles, coloring sheets, clothes, a doll, a baby, and more. They loved the gifts!

(Kadie refused to pose with her presents. She spent the morning digging into the marshmallow Santas from our socks and any other candy she could get her hands on and by this point I think she was overstimulated or just plain over-sugared.)

Hope Everyone Had a Wonderful Christmas and Wishing You All A Happy New Year!
