Christmas day and next..

The girls make a sign to hang at the top of the staircase each year to remind them not to come running down on Christmas morning. Here they are eagerly waiting to head down. They can't get to our room without passing the tree in the living room so we don't want to miss their faces!!! They really look forward to making the sign every year.



Mia was very excited about her new ball popper!
The big girls got American Girl dolls this year after their scavenger hunt from Santa. They were actually from the grandparents, but they wanted them to get them Christmas morning so they asked Santa to deliver them for them!

After Christmas morning at home, a nice big breakfast and a few hours to play, we loaded up and headed to Grammy and Uncle Jeff's house in Birmingham.

Here is sticky Mia eating a peppermint stick....
