Have Yourself a Very Exciting Christmas

This morning while we waited for guests to arrive, Hannah made some pictures with her Spirograph that she had gotten from Grandma and Grandpa last night.

She even brought Bob, the gnome from Germany, down with her.

It took everyone a while to get here.  The kids were going crazy waiting to open their gifts.

We made them wait until we were able to eat some breakfast.  Some of us got started while we waited for the rest to arrive.  By the time everyone was there the girls were busting at the seams!

They started with their big present that had the sign to open first.

Inside this box they had another wrapped box.  Inside that another wrapped box.  Inside that another.

Inside the final box there were two smaller wrapped boxes with their names on them.

Hannah was to open hers first and then Hailey.

Hannah opened her box to reveal a note that said "We are going to"

Hailey opened hers to finish the sentence "Disneyworld"

Both girls were so surprised and so happy!  We then spilled the details, we were leaving in a few weeks and grandma and grandpa Parmley are coming with us.

They finished opening their presents: roller blades/skates, new iPods, clothes, luggage from Santa, and Just for Kix warm up jackets

A few minutes after the grown ups started opening presents Hailey came and sat next to me.  She whispered in my ear that she already packed for Florida.  She packed 10 pair of underwear and wanted to know if that was enough? It warmed my heart so much to see how excited she was.

This year I had some bracelets made for my sisters and my mom.  They have Grandma's handwriting engraved into them.  The girls' say: Love you Honey Girl and mom's says My One & Only Daughter.

While I was washing dishes, Hannah and Kim were in the living room talking about a present they found that was addressed To: Everyone

Hannah brought it over and I told her to just open it and inside there was a little egg with a sign on it that said Crack Me.

Hannah cracked it open and another note came out.

AHHHHH!  What?!  There's going to be another baby around here!

SO super exciting!!!

Overall we had another great and VERY EXCITING Christmas!
