Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  We had a great day, everyone was in their jammies well into the afternoon!  Savannah was up earliest at 6am...we finally woke up Emmie at almost 7 since Savannah was about to burst with anticipation!  It is so much fun to see Christmas through their eyes!  For me that is what Christmas is all about, the kiddos! 

We made Christmas cookies for Santa last night and the girls opened their annual special pajamas from Aunt Connie.  We decided we really need to get a tradition started for Christmas Eve...as a kid I always spent it at my grandma's house with all the extended family, then Christmas day was at home with just our family and new toys!!!  That tradition doesn't seem to be possible for my girls so we will have to come up with a new idea starting next year instead of waiting for things to change.

Santa brought Savannah the American Girl doll Emily she has been dreaming of for well over a year! 

The big guy brought Emerson a Minnie Mouse motorcycle she has been asking about for months!

We had a dinner menu that everyone decided on..turkey, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, fresh rolls, apple pie & Christmas cookies for dessert!  Just have to share this fudge recipe, I have never attempted to make fudge, finally did yesterday...man oh man...its amazing!!!!!!!!!
