The girls work up at their normal 7:00am time. Daddy headed downstairs to start our Christmas gift...our new Keurig. We had gotten it a month before, but since it was our Christmas gift to each other, I wouldn't let him use it till Christmas morning. It was worth the wait!
After we got everything organized (Christmas music on, coffee drank, Libby fed, Cinnamon rolls in oven), the girls came down. When they came downstairs, the first thing Caitlin saw was her new Cinderella bike. It was all she wanted and she was so excited. Abigail was so happy for her that she ran downstairs into the basement and found her old Cinderella doll to put in the basket. She didn't even look at her gift. But when she finally saw her new Stuffie, she was very excited. They had a great morning opening gifts. We tried to slow things down, but they were too excited. Rob and I only exchange stocking stuffer fun gifts...so the morning was for the girls. An hour later, our room looked like toys'r'us. Both girls got their dream lites and a soccer ball. Some of the other gifts included a Vet set, singing Ariel, leap pad games and gel skin, tea set, hair set, bath toys, art supplies, princess dresses....oh, and tickets to Princesses on Ice. It was a really great morning! (When we got to Nana and Papa's house, they asked what the girls got. Caitlin was excited to tell them all about her Cinderella bike! When they asked Abigail, she said, "A new tooth brush"....ha!
"My new cinde-wella bike"
:My Stuffie (pillow with pockets to hide things from my sister)"
Libby's new bath toys..she's pretty excited!
When presents and breakfast rolls were done, we packed up and headed to Nana and Papa's house. After breakfast cocktails and breakfast, we began another round of presents!
The girls got new roller skates (complete with elbow, knee, and wrist guards) which they are very excited about. Caitlin got a tangled doll and her horse, which she thinks is the coolest thing ever. Abigail got a Cinderella carriage for her new Cinderella and Prince Charming. They also got a new table for their tea set..and lots of other great presents. Libby got a gift certificate so she can buy herself diapers, etc. :) Rob and I were spoiled as always. Rob also got a gift certificate for a night away at Key Lime Cove..and there were lots of fun things (shirts, book bags, etc) for the girls whent we go! Very excited!!!!

Christmas baby..she looks so sweet!
After our great Christmas morning, we had about an hour to head home, change into our Christmas clothes, and head to great Nani and great Papa's house for Christmas dinner. It's always so much fun to be with all the family. The food is out of control. Rob's grandma made 101 raviolis by hand..and I'm sure they were all gone. Delicious! And again, our girls were spoiled rotten with lots of cute clothes and fun toys, including a lite brite, fun books, and pillows they can draw on and then wash off. Rob and I also left with a whole lot of loot! And Libby left with a Godmother...Auntie Stina! It was a great great great Christmas evening!
The girls with Auntie Brina and Uncle Tom. Isn't this a great family picture? I told Deb I'm putting Rob and my heads on their heads and calling it our Christmas family picture since we didn't take one! :)
