Christmas-Take 2

The day after Christmas we had big plans to leave Grandma and Grandpa’s house and drive to the airport to pick up Auntie Karen.  Unfortunately her first flight was so delayed she ended up spending the ENTIRE day in the Denver airport!  We felt so bad for her!   From the time she woke up till the time she went to bed was almost 22 hours! She finally arrived close to midnight. Poor thing!

Since we weren’t able to meet her at the airport that afternoon we ended up staying longer at Grandma and Grandpa’s and then heading to Noni and Papa’s in time for dinner.  T and I made the most of it by leaving as soon as I’d fed Peanut and having a spontaneous date night.  We did a little post-Christmas sales shopping and went out for Mexican food.

We went back, put the girls to bed, and then stayed up until it was time to head to the airport.  The girls were thrilled when they woke up and found Auntie Karen there the next morning!  Peanut loved meeting her Auntie Karen!!!

The three peach/coral outfits came from one of the ladies T works with…so sweet!  Peanut ended up ruining hers and having to change.  :P

As soon as Papa got home that night we started in on the 2nd round of presents.  The girls got so many nice things!

Here’s some Super Why books from Uncle Sean and Jen.

Giant pipe cleaners from Pawpaw and Nana…she LOVES these!

Buggy is so sweet.  I think gift-giving is one of her primary love languages.  She gets most excited when people open gifts she picked out for them, and she would go and give the appropriate person a hug every time she opened one of her own gifts.

Peanut got an adorable inchworm from Pawpaw and Nana!

She desperately wanted it in her mouth, but needed a little help.

Boo had no such qualms about her monkey hat!

The Florida family sent the girls hats, bows, and coloring books.

Auntie Nina got Peanut this adorable red outfit!  Love it.

Noni got them personalized clipboards! They came from an online shop…Freckle Box.  It’s so fun to have personalized stuff since our girls’ names are too unique to ever find anything!

They got books from Uncle Jason and Auntie Heather and wanted to read them right away. Peanut got some adorable onesies.

Peanut also got a soft new blanket from Uncle Sean and Jen…perfect timing since I’d just ruined her other carseat blanket by washing it with some dark colors.

Boo got a cute set of kitchen items from Pawpaw and Nana, and Snow White Legos from Auntie Nina and Uncle Mike.  Bug got a Hello Kitty set from them.

The girls were thrilled with all their presents and as soon as we were done opening they started a rousing game of Tangled.  “Wapunzel, Wapunzel! Wet down your hair!”
