Christmas at Home

Back home again for more celebrations! Mom and Dad arrived at our house to continue the holiday fun. The girls opened more gifts and shared their gifts with Grandma and Papa. They opened most of their gifts at their house on Christmas Eve, but they had one more to open at our house...the Wii Balance Board. Santa told Grandma they were getting a Wii, so they had to wait to open it until after Santa delivered the Wii!
Allison was so proud of the gift she picked for Papa at the Teddy Bear Tea. The funny part was that Emma picked the exact same gift for him! He had a matching pair of boot candles.
Allison was Grandma's girl.
Emma loved the new Wii! First she tried her had at some bowling.
Allison was a fan of the balance board while she attempted to stay afloat on the ice floes.
Gotta love the Christmas pose...rain boots and all! Of course, in the photo, Allison included her signature hip pop and eyes looking off into the distance!
Family time...with Lemon the parakeet in the background. We were babysitting the Hatches' bird while they were away for a couple weeks. He fit nicely on the drawer set next to the tree. I think he kinda felt like he was back out in nature with the tree right there.
Smiling Christmas girls.
Grandma and Papa take a pose with the girlies.
Another visiting pet, Lola, enjoyed her holiday meal of lettuce. Lola belonged to Emma's K/1 teacher, and even though Em is in 2nd grade, her teacher doesn't trust many to take Lola home. We are one of the lucky ones!
Game time! The girls just love spending time at home playing with all their new gifts. One of their favorites this year was Pretty Pretty Princess. They thought it was so funny to watch Grandma get all dolled up in her princess jewels. I do too and even made her picture on my phone one with all of her beautiful jewels!
