We had a wonderfully busy week with lots of visitors! We had an extremely blessed Christmas again! We started off picking my mom up at the airport on the 23rd and went to Christmas eve service on the 24th. We all opened one gift each on Christmas Eve. Mikayla gave Zach a book to put his football and baseball cards in and a bunch of cards as well and he backed up and took a running leap at her to give her this sweet hug!
Mikayla got her Julie doll from Grammie and she was absolutely thrilled! All her other stuffed animals got kicked out of bed and she only slept with Julie that night.
Even though the ups guy brings the presents Zach still wanted Santa to have a good flight.
Santa clearly wasn't holding a grudge.
They both kept yelling, "AWESOME!!!!!"
Her reaction to seeing another American Girl box!
He immediately gave Mikayla the present he bought for her with his own money, a reindeer webkin. Doesn't he look so proud!?!!
Zach decided to name his frog webkin Christ. So I think we hammered in the true meaning of Christmas pretty well. He later changed it's name to Chris, but what a sweet thought that was.
He was very happy to learn this was a snowball thrower and not a toilet scrubber. Thanks Aunt Kelly!
He also got several very cool transformers and has spent hours playing with them!!
Little glasses for her doll, too cute!! Thank you Tall RuthAnn!
Monkey Boy!
Mikayla also got Felicity from Grandma Barb and Grandpa Tim!
He wore this hat from Papa and RuthAnn all day!
Even Julie got in a little practice.
The kids stayed very busy all day playing "school" with their webkins. They each got 3 new ones.
Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas so blessed!

I love the frog story! It sounds like Christmas in Indy was fun! I will be posting later tonight about our Christmas as our blog needs an update terribly!
So your kiddos are nuts about Webkinz, too? Oh my gosh! My son's addicted. I'm hoping it will fade sooner than later... It was super sweet in the beginning but 30 some odd later (thanks, Mom!) it's getting scary! :)
I love all the picts of your kids. They're so excited! Gotta love Christmas with kids!
What a fun Christmas!! When did Mikayla get super into American Girls? I thought about getting Ella one for Christmas but was afraid she was too young to appreciate it. Love the Santa note!
I think the American Girl and Webkinz obsessions come from friends at school. The kids are even allowed to bring one webkin to recess! Paulette you must have missed the summer post about our trip to the American Girl store in Chicago. That pretty much got us all hooked! But wait as long as you can to tell Ella about them as they are $80 per doll!!
