| Dad was enjoying Josh and the Big Wall (specifically the Song of the Cebu) and enjoying it with the girls |
 |
| Mae was enjoying her additional zoo animals, so much that she didn't even notice Mom doing her hair (or she's just REALLY sweaty) |
 |
| Anna was enjoying locating the camera, and Mae was also enjoying her new kitchen area in the family room |
 |
| Not a bad start to the day when we got them BOTH to smile at the same time! |
 |
| I want to say they look better than the scary pictures of me when I was a kid on Christmas morning |
 |
| Enough with the pictures, let's get this party started! |
 |
| From peas in her stocking to goldfish |
 |
| Anna's First Christmas |
 |
| Playing dress-up |
 |
| Mae sharing her new doll |
 |
| Happy Anna |
 |
| Doesn't EVERYONE just LOVE Veggie Tales? Josh and the Big Wall! |
 |
| More zoo animals! |
 |
| Already starting to line them up - so organized. |
 |
| I was ALMOST able to take a picture without Anna noticing |
 |
| Pausing the morning for a quick read |
 |
| Anna! You don't have to smile for EVERY picture! |
 |
| Wanting to open "the big one!" |
 |
| Buuuut...it freaked Mae out so Anna had to open it by herself (it was for the both of them) |
 |
| Once it was opened - Mae did like it. Mae played with her new toys... |
 |
| ...while Anna smiled for pictures. |
 |
| I said, "Mae played with her new toys..." |
 |
| "...while Anna smiled for pictures." |
 |
| Combining her toys into a great imaginary world |
 |
| The bed was supposed to be for her new doll, but maybe she was already worn out for the day. |
 |
| Eyein' down Big Nate...or where he's going with that gift |
 |
| Mae's no dummy - she knows who passes out the gifts |
 |
| Enjoying the atmosphere |
 |
| Enjoying others' gifts - and getting a little rest |
 |
| Most people relaxing, Morgan and Mae wrestling, and I honestly can't figure out what Papa D's doing. |
 |
| The "no look" smile for the camera - or just having fun with Kylie an Uncle Brian |
 |
| Mom getting a needed break...and Anna finding the camera JUST in time |
 |
| Papa D and Grandma Weez had dropped off their gifts beforehand |
 |
| It goes perfect with their new kitchen |
 |
| Mae's excitement could not be contained |
 |
| What a great Christmas! And we even ended the day getting Anna NOT to smile! |
 |
| Oh look, we DID take a picture of the bells |
 |
| The girl can smile |
 |
| Why is Kylee so happy and Mae so engrossed? |
 |
| Roswell Christmas is on our Christmas short list of traditions |
 |
| It's a Christmas Eve massacre! She did NOT like finger painting - even if it was going to be a gift for a grandparent. Whereas Mae hates messes... |
 |
| ...Anna loves them! |
 |
| Or just knows when to smile for the camera |
 |
| Anna didn't last, but at least she made it one picture |
 |
| What you see done here is about as far as we got before we started getting bored |
 |
| Me showing off my patience |
 |
| Mom made a Christmas tree...Mae decorated the tree. |
 |
| The first gingerbread man she pulled out was broken (see: head on roof), so she was disappointed when the second gingerbread man didn't match that of the first as wasn't broken |
 |
| I guess we could have broken it for her...we were done anyway |
 |
| It's hard to get them to smile at the same time...actually, it's just hard to get Mae to smile instead of looking at Anna smiling |
 |
| Not too bad |
 |
| Ah boy |
 |
| Mom and the girls |
 |
| Anna doesn't smile as easy with just a timer |
 |
| C'mon Anna! We can't just get Mae to smile normal like this very many times! |
 |
| Smile Mae! C'mon! |
 |
| We give up |
 |
| Is it just me or have the girls gotten taller? My other thought was, "Maybe they'll get a 'teammate-sister' picture like this one day." |
