Merry Christmas

When you are newly married without kids Christmas is just, well another Holiday. Kids make Christmas so magical and so much fun! Lexie has been so excited and has loved everything about the holiday season. Ryan and I have watched so many Christmas shows that we really could just about slit our wrists. Lexie really loves the old shows like Rudolph and Santa Claus is coming to town. This year she has been really excited about Santa Claus. One night we were sitting in the basement watching television. The wind was blowing really hard and she decided that the noises she was hearing was just Santa coming down the fireplace. I was really surprised because I hadn't talked to her about that. She most have figured it out from all the shows she had been watching. The week of Christmas was really busy we went to the Moedl Christmas party on the 23rd. We had a really nice time. Lexie loved her aunt Kelley and couldn't get enough of the attention she payed to her. Santa even showed up and spoiled all of us. Lexie loved sitting on his lap and Preslie wouldn't have anything to do with him. Ryan believes its because I tortured her at the mail by making her take a picture with him. He can believes what ever he would like. Of course Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma Nielsen's house with lots of food and the Christmas Pageant. Lexie dressed up as an Angel and lasted about 5 seconds. I was able to get a picture. She's not much of an actress, Ryan and I were really banking on that. I guess we will have to pray Preslie has some talent. Santa did come to our house, believe me I had my doubts. Its amazing the fighting that goes on between a 3 year old and 1 year old girl. He left way too many presents for the girls. I have no idea were we will put everything. Grandma Whitten and Pete came over and watched the girls open presents. Then we loaded up and went to Grandma Moedl's house for the day. Wow, I am exhausted just by reminiscing about the holiday! We can't wait for next year.
Preslie having fun at Grandma Moedl's house Christmas day.


She wore herself out and snuggled with Grandpa Brett. He even got her asleep. He ruined it by getting too hot and waking her up only to blame her of peeing on him. Not really what happened, too bad cause it would have made for some good laughs!!

Grandpa Nielsen and Miss Pres.


Lexie and her Grandpa.


Lexie and the extent of her acting career. I think she was done once she realized that everyone was watching her.




Both Girls on Christmas Morning Preslie was content just checking everything out while Lexie tore open the presents in record time!


Lexie riding her scooter Santa brought her. This is the only present she wanted from Santa. She picked it out of a Target Magazine the first part of November and was persistent that was what she wanted. I'm really glad its not like the bike the easter bunny brought her. She can at least ride her scooter.
Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen stopped by late Christmas night to see what Santa had brought us! It was a great day, we got to see all 3 of our grandmas in 1 day. That doesn't happen too often.
