It definitely is the most wonderful time of the year. We had a great, relaxing Christmas. Last night (Christmas Eve,) we went to 5:30 mass and then headed over to our friends' for a Holiday open house. It was great to get to spend some time with friends since we weren't able to visit with any family. And, the girls had a great time playing with their friends too. Thanks for inviting us! After we came home we opened presents from each other. Mommy and Daddy only give the girls clothes and books; if they're good...Santa brings the toys and other fun stuff! Logan is at the age where she likes getting nice clothes, shoes, and accessories. Carsyn, on the other hand, grew more annoyed with every present she unwrapped. Maren just enjoys tearing paper off the boxes! Finally the girls put the chocolate chip cookies that we made out for Santa and went to bed...
Christmas Eve morning, the girls got to open one early present...

Logan and Carsyn woke up first on Christmas morning, around 8:15. But, we all had to wait for Maren to start opening presents. She finally got up close to 9:00. All three girls made out very well--Santa must have lower expectations on behavior than mom and dad ; ) The girls' new toys are still scattered all over the living room, and they haven't stopped playing all day. We truly had a Merry Christmas and hope you did too!
