Christmas Day

Laneah woke up early on Christmas morning and did not like having to wait for Brooklyn, who was still sleeping. Jason let her open her stocking to keep her pacified. 
 Finally Brooklyn woke up and the girls started to open their presents. Laneah was fast and was done in about five minutes. 
 Brooklyn was excited but took her time too.


 Brooklyn got a Snow White dress and purse and wanted to put it on right then.


 The girls got some nail polish and Brooklyn wanted me to put it on her. She only likes her toes done though. Its funny because she puts her foot up in the air for me to paint rather than sitting or letting me paint her foot on the floor. 
 Then we had to get ready for church. When we got home we took a few pictures.





 Laneah put on the costume Alex brought her from Hawaii. 
This video of her doing the Hula is SO funny. What a little cutie.

It was an interesting Christmas. At some point during the trip we all got sick. Brooklyn had a double ear infection. Alex  and Jereme got Strep and Alex's was antibiotic resistant. The rest of us all got nasty colds/flus. We had a total of 2 visits to Urgent Care and one ER visit; including Christmas Eve and Christmas. So the adults didn't open presents until about 2:30 when everyone was awake. Luckily by Christmas, the girls and Jason and I were well again. 


And the best part of our day was talking to Andrew, my brother who is currently on a mission. We got to video skype this year which was awesome. It was so good to see him.
Christmas was good and the girls got lots of new toys to play with. It was great having Christmas with my family this year.

Well this was certainly a memorable Christmas for you guys. The sicknesses were a bummer, but the girls being so super cute hopefully made up for it. And yay for getting to talk to Andrew!
