Christmas Day Fun!

Christmas was lots of fun with a couple of two year olds that were just beginning to understand. They were excited to set out some cookies and milk for Santa and of course some carrots for the reindeer, but after we set them out and were posing for a picture they decided they were hungry and grabbed the carrots and started chomping down on them. I said "Hey wait a minute what are the reindeer going to eat?" Miah said,"These carrots Mom." Pointing to the few carrots left on the stool. I just had to laugh at how stink'in cute these two are! We had a great Christmas and yes Santa found our house and we had a great relaxing morning. Poppy and Grandma Jean came over and had breakfast and played with us. It was fun to just spend the morning home and enjoy playing with the girls! After the relaxing morning we got ready to make the rounds. We went to Papa and Grandma Walters and it is always so much fun to play with all the cousins and Nel. After a few hours they started to get tired so we left and made a stop at Great Grandma and Grandpa Greats and then finished with dinner at Poppy and Grandma Jean's house. We had such a great Christmas spending time with family and enjoying our little family. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and it was so great to hear from a lot of you through cards and letters. We tried to teach the girls the true meaning of Christmas and if you ask Miah, "Why do we have Christmas?" she will say, "To remember Jesus." We are so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives and know that our Father in Heaven knows us and watches over us and is with us to guide us if we put our trust in him and he sent his only begotten son to set the perfect example for us and to suffer and to die for us so we may return home someday. He lives and loves us and we are so grateful for his presence in our lives.We hope you all feel him in your life as well. Merry Christmas!Carrot eaters! Poor reindeer had to split the leftovers!The exciting moment of coming down the stairs! It took them a minute when they got downstairs to realize that there was some toys for them. They once again got hung up on the cookies and milk stool. They couldn't believe they were gone and that Santa had eaten the cookies and drank all the milk! WOW! They are just cute little maids. Good thing Grandma Jean and Poppy got them some cleaning tools. I get lots of help cleaning now.They got an awesome tent maze from Papa and Grandma. They love it!!I love this pic of a very tired Mazie zoned in a whatever game Cole was playing. Sweet Cole just letting her lean on him and watch over his shoulder. Cute kiddos!
This is our attempt at a family photo. Too bad the video camera wasn't rolling, I'm sure that would have been some comical footage!
