The day that Santa Claus came.

This Christmas was one of the most exciting ones since we've been together. I mean, if you're 6 and 4 years old, what is more exciting than Christmas? It felt like we had been preparing for this day for weeks! School parties, lots of grocery and present shopping, decorating, letters to santa, christmas cards, and baking, present wrapping and secret keeping!! 

Here is our tree on Christmas Eve.
The art work- by Anna and Brooke... strategically placed by Anna! 
 This gorgeous Christmas arrangement was sent 
by my parents a few days before Christmas!

 The letter that Anna wrote to Santa on Christmas Eve!!!
Anna chose to put the milk for Santa in a wine glass with a red bow. 
I thought that pretty much summed things up!!!
 The gingerbread house smashed by a rolling pin- cuz it was too hard and stale to smash with our fists and it was too YUCK to eat any .. but I had treat back up!! :)
 The clay tea-light that Anna worked so hard on at school to give to all of us. 

 Christmas morning stocking time! 

 The stacking cups for Dylan.. all she cared about all Christmas.. unstack.. restack.. 

 The girls' new yoga outfits and yoga mats!!
 Brooke. That's Brooke Tenenbaum to you!
Dylan. Chillin for a bit before she gets back to the pile.
 Brooke and her new cupcake kit.
No more pictures MOM! 
 Til next year. When we do it all over again.. only I'm secretly thinking we should seclude ourselves on an island somewhere... one gift each!
