Christmas 2012

It was Sam Nolan's first time at Memaw's Christmas Eve celebration. It was also his first time to use a ride on to walk. He loved the Thomas Train he got from LB and Mike!

Trying to walk one-handed...show off. :)

I think it's safe to say this was a "princess Christmas" for Delaney. I don't believe there was any princess left off this year. She received her Rapunzel doll from LB and Mike!!

 Playing Santa with everyone's gifts. She opened her Princess kit, books, and Dreamlite from KK and Pete, fun toys and clothes from Nannie and Pop! Her expressions were so cute. She said, "Awww.. I love it! Oh my goodness!"

 

She also got a Cinderella doll from Memaw! She was in heaven!

When we got home we made cookies for Santa.

This is the milk mug for Santa that has Sam Nolan's feet on it. I absolutely love that it matches the plate Delaney had made.

Sam Nolan didn't care one bit about Santa eating cookies. He needed to taste test what Delaney had made first.

Cookie Monster. :)

Santa came and I was able to take a few shots before I became very sick with the stomach bug on Christmas Day. (Eric and Delaney had previously had it the days before)

Sam Nolan's side. His favorite Santa toy: the Weeble Wobble treehouse toy and the blocks table.

A little bit of Delaney's side.

Hanging on the tree were Belle, Little Mermaid, Snow White, and Merida dresses.

We had to try them on!

I didn't get many pictures during the fun, but we took videos of both of them waking up and seeing their surprises. Absolutely the best! Later, Nana and Granddaddy came over and gave them a train table, clothes, Pocahontas doll, and Doc McStuffins doll! At the end of the day, the major downside to being sick on Christmas is not getting to organize and go through the new toys. I was very overwhelmed with this picture in our den. But the kids were loving it! :)
