Family-Filled Christmas

This year we celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve.  We wanted to do something different so we had a brunch.  It was so yummy!!  We had all kinds of good food, from biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, french toast caserol, muffins, and bacon and cheese biscuit pull-apart.  After we ate, all the kids opened their gifts.  Bella got some Littlest Pet Shop animals and a house, a Dora camera, and some My Little Ponies.  She loved them all.  (I think I have a little photographer in the making!!)

On Christmas Day, we headed to Monrovia.  It's been several years since we have actually been down there on Christmas.  We had a nice dinner, then we watched the girls open their presents.  We went from youngest to oldest when we opened gifts.  It was so cute, we caught Nellie whispering to Bella, like she was trying to say, "Go ahead and open yours, its okay" and Bella gives her the look as to say, "No way!!  I'm not getting in trouble!"  Kids are so cute!!  We had such a great time.  Bella got a bathtime baby that has a diaper she can change, a Dora doll, Toy Story 3, Veggie Tales, a Belle doll and blanket, and lots of other little goodies.  She's one spoiled little girl!!

I love this time of year and getting to spend so much time with family!!  It's one of my favorite things to do!  We hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas and enjoyed their family time as much as we did!!

Until next time...
