Christmasness

Christmas was great. How could it not be? Lots of time with family, new stuff to play with and good stories. Like this one...

Macy waited until about a week before Christmas before deciding she wanted Santa to bring her a Dora family ("you know, with the mommy, the daddy, Swiper, Tico, Boots, Isa, Abuela...and the two babies") and a Dora umbrella. So Brett and I spent the next few days searching all over for a Dora family and finally found something we thought would suffice. Christmas morning rolls around and Macy comes out to this:


and the first thing she says is "He didn't bring me a Dora umbrella!" And we thought we were raising such gracious children...

Despite the one ungrateful outburst, she was very satisfied with everything. Here's a few other pictures from our Christmas celebrations.

The fam on Christmas Eve...don't our kids look thrilled?


Coleman's first Christmas.


The fave gift-a 4 pack of princess shoes (a.k.a. "clip-clops")...


...which prompted this costume change. Can't wear princess shoes without a princess dress, right?


You're never too young to enjoy wrapping paper.


One of my favorites...I love how closely Coleman is watching her. (It was his present that she was opening, so maybe he was just really interested in what he was getting.)

I love it. Doesn't it make you feel like poo when your kids notice the one thing you can't provide for them? =) Macy is gorgeous as ever and I can't believe how big Coleman is getting. It looks like you guys had a good Christmas and I LOVE your living room!

Your kids are so adorable! Looks like a fun Christmas! Can't kids just want one thing and be grateful for what they get and decide before a day or 2 before Christmas?! Santa can't do everything especially with such late notice! I don't get how people can do all there shopping in July or April or earlier because kids just change there mind!! Anyway, such fun!
