On Sunday, we went to Great Grandpa's house for dinner with my sisters, my dad, and his brothers. It was fun for the girls to see everyone and meet their cousins. Mark and Kathy gave Violet and Lily Mickey and Minnie stuffed animals and board books. It was the first present they've got to open and Lily loved pulling out the tissue paper!
For Christmas Eve, we went to Grandma's house for a party! The food was DELICIOUS and the girls especially liked the meatballs! My mom throws great parties! Lily was crawling around like a crazy woman and decided it was time to figure out how to climb up stairs! She made it to the top and we all clapped and said Yay!!! Then she did it again!
Santa came to our house! Santa brought the girls a stuffed animal pillow chair. Violet LOVED hers! She was lounging and checking out her new toys and sucking her thumb. We opened presents, which Lily was sort of getting the hang of, and then headed out the door. We went up to Grandpa's house and had our Christmas morning omelets. Yum, yum. Great Grandpa held Violet while I fed her and she loved the eggs! When it was time to open presents, the girls made a haul! Toys, books, clothes galore! We went back to my mom's house after that for more gifts and lunch. Later that night, we watched Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas together (cartoon version). Our little Violet is so much like Cindy Lou Who! She even looks like her!
We had a wonderful first Christmas with our girls! They are so precious and sweet. Just think, a year ago I was pregnant and huge and so uncomfortable! I'm so happy our little ladies are so healthy and happy. That's the best gift I could ask for.
