A Few of My Favorite Things

We have been settling into our post-Christmas life today -- trying to get the house back in order and getting back into our regular routine.  We had a WONDERFUL Christmas, the best yet I think.  The girls made the whole day so much sweeter than it already was and we really enjoyed sharing all of our family traditions with them and building a few new ones.  It was a very full day that started with presents at home followed by a simple breakfast, some play time with new play-dough and then off to Grandpa and Lainie's.   We enjoyed our big Christmas breakfast -- including my dad's famous caramel roll, opened more presents, decorated Christmas cookies, played with lots of new toys, visited with cousins, played more, colored, read books, ate Christmas dinner, put the girls down for the night and even got a little grown-up play time in.  Did I mention it was a very full day?  It couldn't have been better though. Every gift the girls received was opened with joy and love and instantly examined/played with/worn.  Nothing stayed in its original packaging long.  Not surprising with all the activity, we took nearly 100 pictures yesterday -- here are just a "few" of my favorites!
