Christmas!!

We had a really fun Christmas this year. McKinley was so excited since we've had the presents under the tree for the last few weeks. She LOVES to sing and has been singing "Santa Clause is Coming to Town", "Jingle Bells", "Up on the House Top" and various other Christmas songs.
We've had our nativities out and explained that Christmas was about Jesus' birth. She loves birthdays, so that was exciting for her too.
She had tons of fun taking some treats around to neighbors and loved giving people Christmas presents.
We opened up presents with my parents Christmas Eve and that really got McKinley excited for the morning. Grandma and Grandpa gave us a Zoo pass that she is stoked about and should be fun all summer long! The girls got pillow pets, toys, clothes and books. Robbie and I got a Blu Ray player. It was a fun way to spend Christmas Eve.
Robbie and I stayed up and got presents ready that night and Christmas morning McKinley couldn't wait to get down stairs and tear into the gifts. Molly slept through most of Christmas. Later Christmas day we went to Robbie's parents house and opened more fun presents. McKinley can't get enough of the blanket Nana made for her doll! I absolutely love my new cookware and Robbie got the money to sign up for his half Iron Man, so he's on cloud nine as well! We are so lucky to have such fun and great Grandparents for our kids (and parents for us:) ).
Over it was a really fun Christmas, here are some fun pictures!

McKinley only asked Santa for a doll and blue crayon, and what do you know...Santa gave her a doll and whole box of crayons, not just the blue one!

Here Molly is reading her book from Mom and Dad.

She finally woke up just in time for her ball popper.

McKinley got a kitchen from Mom and Dad (really we got it for both of them, but let's face it, Molly is a ways off from actually playing with it). She loved it and immediately went to work making us food.

Sounds like you had a fun Christmas! So cute that you guys got MK a play kitchen! Ruby & Ellie got one from my parents and Ruby loves it! Did you guys put it in the basement? Still think we should get the girls together to play again. Hope you had a fun New Year's too!
