Christmas Day

We had a very quiet Christmas Day, as for the first time, my parents were unable to make the trip down.  We opened gifts in the morning and then watched a movie in the afternoon, before having a nice, quiet dinner.  The girls are older, so the excitement is different - and it was a bit emotional not having my parents here.  Times change.  Lee and I did our best to make things special and nice for the girls and in the end, we had a nice day.

He came!

Opening stockings.

Santa knows Elizabeth well - a book about Greek Gods!

And he brought Emily the movie she's been asking for!

Mommy and Daddy got Emily what she had been begging for - a canopy!

Soccer warm up pants.

Another movie.

Lee got a new iPhone last month, as an early Christmas gift. I felt badly that he only had one or two gifts under the tree, so I wrapped up a photo of his new phone....the girls thought that it was hilarious.

Hero Dad mug from Emily for his tea.

Sporting sweatshirt.

T-shirt from Uncle Mike and Auntie Kelly.

Petrified wood from Uncle Mike and Auntie Kelly.

We dragged it out for a long, long time.  She only had a couple of gifts to open and was starting to look very worried.  And then Lee shoved a package toward her that she hadn't seen because it was buried so far back under the tree.  Absolute bliss.
