Christmas morning the girls slept in until 8 and fell asleep to a movie at 6:30pm. I was surprised they woke up so late b/c the day before a very concerned Abby kept reminding Jeana to wake her up when she got up. I think though that they had a good day and were happy with all the fun new toys.
We decided not to go anywhere for Christmas this year and to just plan a summer trip. I must admit, it was not my favorite Christmas. Christmas can get really chaotic, but this year there was definitely not much of that. I think it was a little too quiet. Though that was partly our fault for not extending invitations to all our other good friends who stayed here too. David said he wanted a simple dinner for Christmas and so we were really just going to fix mac & cheese, but on Christmas Eve, the girls informed us they wanted ham, potatoes (like Melinda fixed for Thanksgiving), carrots, jell-o and pudding (I don't know where these came from b/c we rarely have either.) And since I wanted to make their Christmas a good one, we made it to the store with 10 minutes to spare before closing up for Christmas Eve. The hams were of course picked over so we didn't have much to choose from, but we managed to round up a few things and make do. Christmas Eve the Runyans were kind enough to brighten our Holiday season by inviting us over for dinner. We had a great time and the girls acted out a very cute rendition of the nativity. Abby loves to be baby Jesus and requested to be again this year, though she is my baby she isn't so little anymore!
I did finally get a Whirley Pop (popcorn popper that is seasonal, so I've been waiting patiently.) We have had popcorn everyday since Christmas and we love it... another thanks to the Runyans for the introduction! I hope everyone else had a good Christmas!
So, I had been wanting a fun Christmas plate set for awhile and couldn't decide between this set and another more elegant set, in the end and after they had been setting out for a month, I decided to take it to a family vote and my girls chose the snowman plates. So, here is our cute Christmas table set-up.

Darling Dishes! It's amazing how something so simple can add so much. Maybe next year you should come spend Christmas in NC! (The girls played outside in short sleeve shirts and bare feet on Christmas day again this year. It really is wonderful!)
