Christmas with the fam...

After a fantastic Christmas brunch (always one of my personal favorites), we settled down to more present opening!  Everyone had a great time watching the kids open all their presents.  Juliet wins the award for most meticulous unwrapping.  She would slowly peel one small piece at a time off a present.  :-)

All dressed up!

Everyone had to do a quick wardrobe change out of their Christmas pjs into their fancy Christmas outfits!  Before we went to brunch, Matty and Juliet wanted to test out some new toys...

More Christmas morning fun

The present craziness continues...

Present Madness!

The kids had a blast ripping all the wrapping paper!

It wouldn't be Christmas if Mommy and Daddy didn't get everyone pjs and slippers, right?

Christmas Morning

Always so exciting to see what Santa left under the tree!  Matty and Juliet were sleeping in, so Mommy and Daddy had to wake them up so we had enough time to open presents before meeting up with the family for brunch (and more presents!)

Oooh!  Santa brought Matty a brand new orange bike (with an inflatable dinosaur riding it) and Juliet a white volkswagon beetle to ride!  They also each got a dress up outfit--Matty got a fireman outfit and Juliet her first princess dress.   Wrapped under the tree was Matty's most requested Transform Dino that walks and responds to commands, a matchbox car racetrack, and a doll for Juliet and lots more!

 Juliet got the Little Mermaid movie, some bows, and a unicorn dress up in her stocking.  Matty got Despicable Me 2 and some cool Imaginext action guys. 

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

and everyone was on antibiotics, even the mouse.

We hosted a delicious Christmas Eve feast....Matty, Juliet, and the cousins in their Christmas finery....

Then, Matty and Juliet couldn't wait to get on their pjs and get into bed so that Santa could come!  First, we had to put out some milk, cookies, and a carrot!  I think they were both sound asleep by 8pm.
