I didn't buy the girls Christmas dresses this year since I thought we would still be staying home on that Sunday, but it turned out that we did go to church on that day. I did have a new dress that was really dressy for Gwen to wear and I put on Penelope a dress that Gwen used to wear that was green.
Then Christmas morning was great. Brett's family came over to our house and watched the girls open Santa gifts. Then after Dad made us a yummy breakfast.
My family has a tradition that you have to wait on the stairs until you take a picture before you get to go and open Santa gifts. I have carried on that tradition. Gwen would do nothing until she put on her dress-up dress. Not so much of a tomboy anymore since she started to watch the movie Enchanted. Can't you tell how excited Penelope is???
Gwenie was a pro at opening all the gifts. Of course she asked Brett to open each and everyone once she opened it.
Penelope slept the whole time we opened gifts.
I was so happy to get this picture! This is a total Gwenie face.
The girls infront of the tree after all the presents were opened. Penelope is still sleeping of course.
After we were all done we got ready and went over to Brett's parents house the open more presents and have dinner. I realized that I didn't take any pictures of Gwen opening gifts there, total bummer. I just got this one picture of us as a family.
Well Christmas was great! I got diamond earrings from Brett which I have been wanting for a long time and Gwenie came away with nothing but TOYS!!! Note to self: next year mix in clothes and other things so that the house is not over run with TOYS.

Gwen's big smile is adorable. Clearly she is a girl who loves Christmas. I love that Penny slept through the whole thing. She is still so tiny!!!! How are you feeling? Getting happier????
It is so fun to have you back posting!!! The pictures are so fun and really help make missing all of you not quite as hard!!! The girls are really adorable, of course you and Brett don't look to bad either :):):) I remember the dress-up thing. I see kids at the store Gwenies age wearing their dress-up clothes, everyone thinks it cute and understands it okay, thank goodness. Two-four year olds should have fun and not grow up too fast, right??? Love ya, hugs and kisses. MOM
