Christmas was a little quite this year. With no family in town and no travel plans of our own, it was our first Christmas as a family. So as a family, we started new traditions: Elf on the Shelf, Christmas cookie and gingerbread house decorating and happy birthday Jesus. We also continued a combination of old traditions from mine and Joe's childhood.
It was wonderful to watch the girls get into the Christmas spirit. Joe and I had so much fun putting everything together and watching the girls reaction when they woke up Christmas morning. Here are a few pics from Christmas morning.
Santa brought the girls a bunch of dress up clothes. Here Sophia is a "princess fairy cowgirl"
The first gift Sophia opened was some books. Of course that's all she really needs to be happy! It took a few minutes but she finally agreed to continue opening presents and read her "new books" later. I think she was happy with her decision.
Santa brought the girls a doll house and kitchen!
Princesses for the doll house! Thanks Abu!
Alexandra was perfectly content with the boxes and wrapping paper.
