Merry Christmas!!!

Santa came!
Madeline ran downstairs so fast to see if Santa had come
she didn't even give me a hug or kiss! LOL
The girls were a bit slower making downstairs.



This clock was by surprise this Christmas from Chris. He bought this clock
in July, and was able to hide it until now! This is a handmade clock made by
a person in his fire department. We almost bought in July, but come to find
out, Chris e-mails back and forth to her were fake so that he could surprise
me on Christmas day... I certainly was surprised!


Christmas seemed to take so long to get here until about 2 weeks ago, then suddenly it felt like Christmas day was here! It's hard to believe that Christmas will be over soon and we will be starting a new year. We have so many things to look forward to in this coming year.
Anyway, we had such a great day today. Chris made it home by 6:45 from the fire station and we were able to relax had have a cup of coffee together before the girls came running downstairs. Madeline was more excited this year than I have ever seen her. The girls came downstairs a bit mystified about Santa having been here. We unwrapped most of the presents and had an easy morning.
Later that morning Chris' mom came over and so did my dad and his girlfriend. Then after the girls nap we went to my mom's house for dinner. Over all it was a long day, but a good day. :)
