Who's got a beard that's long and white?

Now that the craziness of the holidays are over. Chloe would not go to bed on Christmas Eve. We thought that maybe someone slipped her some Mt. Dew since we have it in abundance for the holidays. Travis took her for a ride. Maybe it was her teeth, maybe she just ate too much junk. We finally got her to bed at 11:00 that night. It was a long night with Chloe. She was up every hour and a half. I would get her to sleep and be expecting her to sleep until morning and she would be up again. Finally at 4:30 we gave her some Motrin and she slept. We didn't even wake her while Megan opened some presents until 8:30. Megan was in our room at 6:30. She could hardly wait for Santa to come. We had to barricade the dog upstairs so he wouldn't get into the stockings when Santa came. Overall, it was a crazy night, but a beautiful day. I am glad to be on the other side of things. It was so fun to see their little faces light up. We were able to visit with family.

Watch for pictures to be updated soon.

These little girls.

They did get a small vote to be on the nice list. I have to agree. Mom is so excited to have Christmas morning for her girls. I feel so grateful to have these two little monsters. In light of the recent events in the news. Children are a gift of light and life. They challenge us to be better and deserve the very best. I wage a war everyday in my home to bring this next generation with some manners and goodness. Simple sounding, but a war everyday. The world we live in as Dad likes to say the past few weeks.
It is nice to have some children to celebrate Christmas with, especially these little girls.

Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too

Some Car Rides Are longer than others.

We bought blackberries at the farmers market and the girls enjoyed them on the way home. Chloe was a royal mess. It was kinda sweet though. Megan is always such a big help with sister in the car. She always is taking care of her Chloe.
