Our Christmas

It's always so funny to me how each year Christmas changes for us. Last year, Emma was only 16 months old and still not into opening presents or anything. But this year, she was all over them. She opened all of hers, most of Ryleighs, and helped everyone else with theirs too. My sweet Ryleigh is cutting some teeth and she didn't sleep much Christmas eve night. I was up with her ALOT and by the time opening presents came she was exhausted, but still enjoyed it. Santa brought Emma a Barbie car with a Barbie and Ryleigh got a musical table. They both played with the table more than anything. Then we let Emma open up all of her since Ryleigh was focused on playing with other things. Emma got a Princess Doll, two magnetic dress up dolls, and a bath Barbie. Then Ryleigh opened up hers. She got Tickle Me Elmo, a Leapfrog my pal dog, and some pop ups. It only took us about 15 minutes to get through that and then we got ready and headed to my mom and dads house. Once we got there we opened up some presents and then waited on Autumn and her family to get there. Then there was more present opening. Emma, Cheyenne, and Hailey were ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE! They have finally started playing together and they just laugh and giggle the whole time. I got lucky and Ryleigh actually took a nap there(even with all the loud craziness). She slept a little over an hour and that gave us time to eat breakfast and watch everyone else open us gifts. We left mom and dads around 11:15 to come home and let the girls nap. Once we got to Oak Ridge it started SNOWING! I was so excited to see snow on Christmas. It snowed for the rest of the day by the way. After naps, we headed to Josh's parents house for dinner. We finally got home around 7:00 and we were all exhausted. I love Christmas Day, but with two little ones, it's tiring. Right now my house is full of boxes and new toys that the girls love. We really enjoyed spending the day with all of our family and I can't wait till next year when Ryleigh will be able to walk around and open up presents too.
