Holiday Memories

Christmas has come and gone but we have so many fond memories to carry with us. Here are just a few, hope your holiday was wonderful and 2009 brings all you wish for and more!
- The girls waking up at 2am on Christmas morning....we are quite sure Emma woke her sister but they were both so excited to see if Santa had come. Unfortunately, Mommy & Daddy weren't quite as excited at that hour and sent them back to bed until the sun woke up.

- Emma and Camryn's love for their new Little Mermaid fish tanks from Grammy & Papa Mike, each with a beta fish, frog and two snails (sadly, we've had one casualty already - Emma's frog)

- Quizzing from the girls about how Santa gets into the house, why he likes skim milk and which cookies are his favorites

- Playing Lite Brite with the girls, one of my favorite toys as a child

- Watching the girls run around the house snapping at each other with their alligator scarves on that Nanna knitted

- Reading The Night before Christmas, every night for the past week

- Listening to Emma and Camryn sing their favorite holiday songs: Rudolph, Jingle Bells and Frosty

- Making original banana pudding for Brian, because it's his all time favorite..something he has passed on to the girls

- Lots of relaxing time to just hang out with the girls, snuggling, playing games, watching movies with no where to be and nothing to do

- Sharing time with family and friends: you each make the Holidays very special for us, much love!
