Christmas Day

 We had a very relaxed Christmas Day here in Oregon.  We started the day with green smoothies and gifts.  We read 'The Story of Christmas' before opening gifts and then the girls tore into them.

 They got handmade, personalized pillowcases from Miss Anita, pretty special!

 Grammy & Grr gave Allison her very own suitcase.  I'm sure it will not surprise anyone that she is THRILLED to have a suitcase to fill up with STUFF.  When she first opened I wish I could have videoed her laugh - she was delighted with all of the space she had to stuff things.  Look out, world, this girl does NOT travel light! :)

Heidi likes the suitcase, too.  She's small enough to ride in it! 

After presents we had time to play with toys.  Heidi got a new train & switching track for Christmas.  Mark & I may or may not have had more fun than the girls putting together a train route.  

 And then we had Christmas brunch.  The girls & I had cinnamon rolls (I gave most of them away so they wouldn't continue to tempt Mark - don't worry, he had a pretty yummy gluten & dairy free apple crisp baked especially for him that morning).  Heidi was a BIG fan of cinnamon rolls!

 We went to Jon & Janelle's for Christmas dinner with the Curtis family.  All six kiddos were there.  We'll need to work on the whole 'look at the camera' concept with our two! :)

 The Heidi-bug was a bit dazed and confused about it all but she loved watching everything.  And playing with all of Lauren's toys!

Allison was SO excited to get this book & CD.  She is constantly trying to sing the song and gets frustrated when Mark & I don't know it, so we're glad we now have the book so we can actually know the words, too.
