Christmas Part 1

This year we have done things a little different. As we are going to Germany, we did not want to bring all of "Christmas" with us. So we wrote Santa a letter and he was kind enough to visit us early. We celebrated Christmas on December 14th and the kids were excited. I love Christmastime with kids. 

Christmas eve preparations...

On Christmas morning the kids have to wait for the music to play to come downstairs and at about 6:15 they made it clear that they were waiting!

This is Cavin as he opened the Skylanders he has been waiting for!

Ella seeing her "rainbow loom" that she has been wanting

Channing and her much anticipated "Doc McStuffins Doll"

I think Channing sat in this chair for an hour and played.

So exciting!

I always ask them to pick their favorite thing for a picture and Cavin didn't want to go upstairs to get his Skylanders and Ella wanted something "soft" so this is their picture ;)

My parents came over after the presents and we opened more presents and somehow we missed taking pictures :( They spoiled the kids as usual and they got Ella this flutter fairy that flies and she loves it. We got to see the movie Frozen with them and my mom cooked a nice dinner. It was fun to have an early Christmas with my family and we are so excited to leave tomorrow for Germany! Merry Christmas!!
