Christmas 2015

It's sort of funny how the year seems to revolve around Christmas.  It's probably more of the Christmas season in general which ends with New Year's.  

We hosted Christmas this year.  The first (I hope of many) in our new house!

 

This was a green Christmas.
I thought this is what I always wanted and now that we are actually celebrating Christmas with no snow, I am not so sure.  It's just not right.

As always there was no shortage of gifts under the tree.

Hannah got her Hideaway Pet and Hailey got a new super shiny Barbie car.

Hailey got a guitar from Grandma Chris and Hannah got a keyboard.  We were serenaded all afternoon.  Very reminiscent of the Sara Broadway days :-)

Christmas usually consists of a Facetime/Skype with the family in Ecuador.  The days of running into the kitchen to be next in line for the corded phone attached to the wall are long gone.  Now they are literally passed around the family while everyone says their hellos.

At the end of the day the girls were exhausted and enjoyed some snuggle time with Uncle Tommy while watching the classic movie The Christmas Story.  I love that they are getting old enough to appreciate 'real' movies.
