Chrstimas Day

This Christmas season has been so enjoyable. Aubree now understands the meaning of Christmas and of course, Santa will bring her presents if she is good or rocks if she is bad. All month long, we have been sing Christmas songs with Aubree. She loves Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I think she sang this song about a hundred times a day. She enjoyed telling everyone that if they were bad they would get rocks from Santa. We didn't have presents under our tree until the Saturday before Christmas. I wrapped the presents when Aubree and Laci were sleeping and of course, when they woke up Aubree wanted to open the presents. She asked to open them every day up until Christmas about 12 times a day. So when Christmas Day arrived, she woke up and asked if she could watch a movie. We told her that today was Christmas and that we could open the presents that were under the tree and go see what Santa brought us. She was so excited! We came out to the living room with her and she went running to Santa's gifts (Santa does not wrap his presents at our house) and she had to dump out her stocking right away. Laci was still sleeping so we had Aubree wake her up. Laci did not like Santa and if we mentioned that he was coming to our house, she would freak out. She could cover her eyes and start to cry. We made sure Aubree didn't mention Santa's name. When the girls were done playing with the toys Santa brought, we started opening the presents. Aubree got the hang of opening the presents fast and when she was out of presents she wanted more. The best present of all was their play house from Grampy and Merdie. They LOVE it!!! Ryan had to take the front door off the hinges and half of the play house roof off to bring it into the house. I think it is going to stay an inside because the girls practically live in it. I did not take a lot of pictures of them opening their present because we videoed it, so I only have a few of them playing in or around the play house.
