Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! The girls were so excited. Our advent calendar had helped Ellie to count down, and we chose cookies for Santa's plate the night before (as well as a carrot for Rudolph!).  I thought it would be dificult to get them asleep since, Ellie especially, was so excited. But. thankfully, she was out pretty quick- we had some work to do! We were doing the final assembly of the dollhouse from Nana... and some deliveries ;)... all in all, I think it was about midnight when we were all finished. So then, 5 o'clock rolled around, and Lia was the first to arrive at our bedside (which isn't exactly unusual), so I pulled her in to cuddle, and then Ellie arrived. She was pulled in too, and though I thought the two had fallen back asleep, the moment Bill whispered one word, Ellie shot up and asked, "Are you awake!?" Too cute...she was just waiting for a sign that we could go :) Off we went then, with Aurie still asleep in her crib. I thought it would be fun to share the first moments of that morning...(I think you can tell they were excited ;)
