Here are the girls in their new Christmas jammies! We had a great Christmas this year! We stayed home Christmas Day and then went to visit our families in Edmonton on Boxing Day for a few days! Emily and Bethany were SO excited about Santa this year! Emily woke up at 3 AM Christmas morning (presumably to go to the bathroom) and saw her presents from Santa sitting under the tree! It took me almost 2 hours to get her to go back to sleep! But she did thank goodness! At 8:00 Tim and I were too excited to sleep anymore, so we woke up the girls! We had a nice morning opening and playing with presents! In the afternoon we were able to go to the church and have a big Christmas dinner with all our friends! In Edmonton we got to go on a hay ride out at my uncle George's and skating with my family! We also got to take the girls to WEM to go to Galaxy Land on the rides there! Emily and Beth got more presents from their grandparents and aunts and uncles! They are so spoiled. We had a fun little trip! We came home on the 30th to get ready for the New Years party we were having at our house! It was fun! We played games, ate lots of yummy food and set off fireworks! We love the Christmas season and it always seems to go by too quickly! We are looking forward to the new year and hope to have lots of fun together! We have been so blessed this past year and have had so many wonderful experiences! I can't wait to do it all again this year!
