Christmas Day

The kids were up early Christmas morning.  The kids have no mercy on Channing.  Every morning they wake that poor baby up. 

 

 

Mom and Dad were coming at 8:00 so we had to keep them upstairs until then.  It was DIFFICULT!!!  We were surprised that Bill, Summer and the boys showed up too.  Santa had already delivered their presents.  Here they are coming up the stairs....

 

Look who got a new bike!!!  She cannot figure out how to push the pedals but she LOVES that she can bring her baby doll.  Jillian wants a car seat for her doll on her bike.  They always want what they don't have. 

 

Rocco continues his obsession of being a teacher so of course, Santa brought a school set.

 

Jillian got the holiday Barbie from her birth year.

 

Santa knew that Hadleigh really wanted a Peppa Pig and boy did he deliver.  A whole set of Peppa Pig dolls and characters!!  (Santa had to work realllly hard to get this gift and had to special order it from China!!!)

 

Later we went over to Mom and Dad's for lunch.  My grandma had fallen the day before and broke her other hip so it was a small gathering.  But as always, Mom went above and beyond for the kids.  They got all kids of goodies.

 

These two....do everything together.  KK calls Hadleigh his sister.  Open presents together, get in trouble together, always together.

 

She got a new doll

 

Jillian got her first American Girl doll.  She wanted Isabelle with a horse. 

 

She got busy right away organizing the dolls clothes and accessories. 

 

We had such a fun Christmas vacation.  I am discovering with 4 little bodies that it is really hard to take pictures.  I love taking pictures.  I love recording our day to day but I need two free hands which I rarely have.  Poor Rocco.  I feel like I did not take many pics of him and forget Channing.  She was with us on Christmas.  Oh well.  I'll get better.  Two days left of vacation and then we will gear up for the month of birthdays!!!
