Sweet Girls! 

They definitely had the hang of this opening present thing this year!

I looove how Emma would squeal 

when she got extra excited about what was inside
(Emma-L, Molly-R)

They are all about carrying bags/baskets around, 

so I couldn't wait for them to get their very 1st purse!

Molly's "woooooah" face!

She was tickled about this present! 

Molly Concentrating on how to open her next present

Emma wasted no time getting her hands on this baby!

Time to take Daddy some presents too!

Aunt Kirasten stayed the night w/ us so 

she could watch the girls open their presents Christmas Morning

 So sweet!

Big Beautiful Smiles on my Precious Little Girls Faces!

Emma & Mommy

 Mommy & Molly

After the girls opened their presents, we all had pancakes & sausage for breakfast, & then we got dressed, & went and spent the rest of the day with the grandparents. 

(Ricks Parents & then my Mom)

We truly had a blessed & Merry Christmas & hope that you did as well!

Christmas Eve

Every Year we spend Christmas Eve with my Dad & Kat. 

It is such a joy to now have Sophie added to our family gatherings! 

My Dad fixed an amazing dinner tonight. 

It couldn't have been better if we went to the best restaurant in town! 

We had fried mozzerella w/ marinara sauce & ceasar salad for an appetizer, and then homemade lasagna. It was yuuuummy! 

Kat made some kind of dessert bars that were to die for! I don't even know everything that was in them but they were wonderful! 

My Dad, Kat, & Sophie

Who steals candy from a baby??? :-)

 My Pretty Sister!

Grumpaw, Kat, & Soph gave Molly & Emma a wagon for Christmas!

Daddy took them for a ride around the house, & the block! 

 They love their new ride! 

These girls are the best of friends! 

I am thankful every day that they have each other!

Emma's face cracks me up here!

Kat was playing "ride a horsey" with her

Our Traditional Christmas Tree Picture!

We have had our picture made in front of a Christmas tree every year since we've met!

 This is a "trick" that Jason ( the dog) does & my dad & rick find it hilarious. 

If you howl....Jason howl's back! And the louder you howl, the louder he howls. 

If you know my husband, you know he loves to get carried away...haha

So Jason's howl can be very ear piercing! lol 

We had a wonderful time together tonight for sure!!!

Now time for some Christmas Eve pictures before "santa" comes. 

I have the hardest time getting my kids to let me take a posed picture of them these days!

Especially a picture of them together!

So I sat the girls in front of the tree for photo attempt #999 & thought if I had daddy to come around the corner holding their giant Minnie that

 it would put a smile on their face & I could get a quick snapshot. 

BUT my girls love Minnie SO much, that before I could even blink, 

Molly had darted into the air, racing to grab Minnie out of Daddy's arms. 

See the anticipation on her face?!

(Daddy went back around the corner & we tried again)

Still racing for that Minnie, & Emma just squealed with excitement

Silly Girls.! Oh well, Mommy's Minnie Mouse trick didn't work...

Let's just try to get some solo pics, then!

My Pretty Little Molly!

My Beautiful Lil' Em! 

Molly Bear

Emma Grace

Ok, Girls!

 Let's try one more time to get that Night Before Christmas snap shot together!

Oh My Silly Girls!

This is the best we got out of them this year! :-)

Their "night before christmas" picture last year. 

My babies are growing waaay too fast!
