Enjoy the pics! Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
Yes there was a change of scenery when Caitee woke up. There is a reason why the tree was in that small side room.

Merry Christmas!!!!!
The alarm clock sounded at 7 am. Alas, neither of our girls had woken up yet. We woke up Meredith first so she could concentrate on her gifts and then help Caitee with her's. We had to wake Meredith up a few times before she realized what day it was. She enjoyed all of her gifts and Santa remembered to bring her those toys which she had been eyeing for some time now. Caitee got up around 7:40 am. Meredith helped her open them up. Caitee was happy just to have boxes. But Santa was good to her as well. Plus they enjoyed all the goodies Santa left in their stockings!

Christmas Eve!
Alas, I did not take any pics. Jeff did so I'll take a look at those and see if he got anything good.
Some sad news, we did have to take our dog, Sparky, to the vet. He was not doing well at all. He wasn't eating (and if you know Sparky, you know he likes to eat), he was yiping a lot. He seemed to hurt all over. Jeff took him in and left him there for overnight (well two nights) observations. They called back after several hours and said he was full of hookworms. GREAT! They also put him on some pain meds. I am to pick him up on Friday. Just didn't feel too Christmas-y without him here.
We hosted the annual family Christmas eve get together. This year instead of a spread of finger foods we opted to make a meal. Jeff made Garlic Shrimp Pasta and Cheese biscuits (just like eating at Red Lobster!) It was all very delicious. We all had to take a rain check on the Bananas Foster....we were stuffed!!!
We all exchanged our gifts to each other. Drank some champagne. After everyone left, we put the girls in the bath and put them to bed.

December 23rd
On Tuesday, December 23, we ate at Guy and Pat's so that we could do a little Christmas celebration with Willard and Brenda before they headed off to Raleigh to spend Christmas with their daughter and son-in-law.
As usual, we ate entirely too many appetizers and were really full by the time the pizza and pasta showed up!
The girls enjoyed opening presents from Brenda and Willard. They gave Meredith one of the Barbie Muses from the Diamond Castle series as well as the dvd of the movie. Caitee received a pushing/walking toy.
Meredith also made a Gingerbread house while visiting with Grandmommy and Emily during the day.

Ok..so mom is a slacker...better late than never, right?
Well, as you remember from my last post, Meredith turned the ripe, old age of 6! I said to look back for photos...well, they are finally here....the suspense is over.
There is an obvious Disney Princess theme here. Meredith had been eyeing the castle cake for a LONG time! Every time we visited that grocery store, she would ask if it is her birthday yet. Let me tell you...that was all cake! There was lots of it!!
The girls all dressed as a Disney Princess. Meredith and Emily dressed as Cinderella. Allie dressed as Tinkerbell, and Caitee dressed as Snow White. It was extremely difficult trying to get 4 little girls to all look at the camera...I give my props to Anne Geddes and her abilities to photograph lots of kids and babies at once!
