December 25, 2011 - Christmas morning

December 25, 2011

Christmas is always more fun and magical with little ones and this year was no exception.

 The girls had to wait down the hall until the camera was ready.  Here was Aniston creeping around the corner to see if Santa came....HE DID!

 The flash on the camera is just too much for Siri.

 The ONLY thing Aniston specifically asked for Christmas from Mommy and Daddy were xia-xia crabs. 

 Whenever I asked Tylar what she wanted for Christmas her answers always included whatever she could physically see at the moment.  For example, when I was doing her hair one morning I asked her what she wanted and her answers included towels, a toothbrush, and more towels.  Needless to say, these kids are pretty easy to please.  Below, the Monster High Dolls where making their debut.

 Grandma Annie, Grandpa Clair, Uncle Tyler, Aunt Liz, and Aunt Kylee joined us for all the Christmas morning festivities.  It was so fun to have them there!

 I know I say this a lot, but Siri is such a pleasant child!  She wasn't interested in tearing any paper to get to her gifts.  She was more than content to just hang out on her box.

 Thanks Santa for the Squinkies.  Who comes up with these toy names anyway?  Squinkies, xia-xia crabs...

 Santa delivered Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and Maximus for our dear Aniston.

 And litte people Zoo animals for Siri..

Merry Christmas.  It is now December 27th and ALL of our Christmas decorations are cleaned up and put away.  There is a lot of Grandpa Craig in me I guess.
