Merry Christmas 2009! Every year we spend Christmas Eve at Nini and Papa's house. We started giving the girls 1 present each on Christmas Eve morning so that we could be the first ones to give them something.

We brought Holly's new drum with to help her stay busy in case there wasn't an adult available to entertain her. They were really well-behaved this year. We're very lucky.
Ella watched everyone arrive and Holly worked on her letters.
Cookies and pianos, that makes for some happy kiddos.
Papa read "The Night Before Christmas." I think Ella was a little more interested than Holly.
After the story, the girls took a little rest in the comfy chair with Daddy. And then after presents, Ella showed Holly how all her new toys worked.
They were still playing with the toys from Christmas Eve, I don't even think they realized that Santa had been to our house.
Hmmmm, whatever could be under that terrible wrapping job? A new kitchen for Ella and Holly, just like she asked for. What are the odds?
Ella started playing with the kitchen and then saw there were more presents to open.
Santa brought some new food and cooking gear for the kitchen. Holly grabbed the ice cream and ran away.
Ella was so nice, she helped Holly and Chopper open their stockings.
Holly was looking a little tired from all the excitement, so I blew up her new ball pit. It seemed to re-energize her.
More presents? Wow, the girls must have been REALLY good this year! Thanks again everyone for all the wonderful gifts. We are really spoiled.
Here's some extra shots of Pork Chop and Holly enjoying their new stuff.
