Christmas Day

Last year Maddy & Mikayla were up at 4am Christmas Morning, imagine how overjoyed I was to wake up at 8am and realize they were still sleeping.  I was so happy to have time to sip my coffee and see their faces when they first woke up.  They didn't waste any time opening their presents!



Maddy is truly growing up, she's excited about a pair of shoes!


Mikayla's faces were priceless!



Grandma Tait got the girls a new art easel!


Mikayla loves her new scooter from Santa, she couldn't wait to get outside to give it a test drive!


Maddy couldn't wait either.  Yes, she is riding her new bike with training wheels but not for long.  We're going to let her get use to how it handles and then the training wheels are coming off this spring!


All dressed & ready for our family to arrive.  We hosted Christmas Dinner!  On the menu?  Ham, sausage stuffing, german potato salad, sweet potatoes, a green salad & rolls, plus mimosas, some appetizers & desserts!  A big thank you to Allison & my Mom-in-Law who brought their yummy dishes & helped me tremendously in the kitchen!






It was a beautiful sunny day, the girls had a ball playing outside with their cousin Cam.


Mike enjoyed showing Mike P & his Dad his new golf clubs.


Gosh, what a nice day.  I wish every winter day in Florida could be like this one!



The fam - minus Lauren & Gregg who were with Gregg's family for Christmas Day.


After dinner, Mike & Mike P played a little Guitar Hero World Tour.


And... Mikayla & Cam had a bath.  



It was a wonderful blessed Christmas Day, Maddy & Mikayla loved their presents, we relaxed with our family and ate a yummy dinner... the girls were so tired they could barely keep their eyes open at the end.  Maddy fell asleep on the couch and Mikayla crawled into her bed and put herself to sleep.  

Ahhh... another successful family Christmas!
