Christmas Day

Christmas this was kinda of a mess.  We were having our master shower redone so our house quickly became a mess.  Then of course we kept having random bouts of sickness and Alex is teething.  Alex decided letting me sleep in Christmas morning was not going to happen.  So me and him went to hang out in the front room till the girls woke up.  Poor Matt had worked all night so he was exhausted throughout the day.  The baby gate was wonderful the girls stood there and begged me to let them in.  Once they woke up their Dad we opened presents.  They were excited over every little thing.  It was so much fun to watch their excitement.  They played till it was time to get ready to head to Matt's cousin Marnie's home for Christmas brunch. Christmas brunch is always full of yummy food.  We could only stay for a bit since Matt needed to get more rest.  The girls had fun with Aspen and playing with her nephew's toys.  After we got home Matt's parents came over and the girls open their presents.  Then it was family nap time while I put together two princess castles. (stabbing myself with a screwdriver the princess sing along castle is annoying to put together.)  For dinner we had the Olsen tradition dinner my Mom's Cheese Lasagna.  We had fun playing with hungry hippos and their elephant game.  Marnie, Troy, Aspen and Zayne came over to bring the kids their presents.  We also skyped with my family in Washington.  The kids got to see their Grandparents, Aunt Sarah, Cousin Monica and Aunt Mary and Uncle Alan.  After a long day of too much chocolate, toys and no nap for Mommy I was glad the day was over.  With the kids in bed it was time for White Christmas with Danny Kaye.  Because Christmas is not complete without this movie.
