Christmas Day

The girls were supposed to wait until 7 AM, but my clock said 6:57 when they came in yelling, screaming, and jumping up and down yelling, "It's Christmas!"

There was A LOT of jumping up and down and absolute JOY as the girls opened their presents. It was a lot of fun! Ben thinks that Santa might spoil our girls a little much, but I think he spoils them the exact right amount.

Audra made me this acrostic poem. I think I will frame it and keep it as a Christmas decoration:

After our annual Danish tradition of aeberskivers for breakfast, the girls played with toys for some time (including coding Camille's new robot, Coji), and then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's to enjoy some cousin time.

Grandma made Camille's day by getting her new PINK boots. Bonus: They match Mackenzie's boots!

Here they are with matching boots:

But, I was really, really, really sad when we got home and Camille said, "Can I throw my red boots away?" Admittedly, her red boots are in ROUGH shape. The zippers on the side no longer work, and they are getting pretty thread baren. But, she has LOVED the red boots so much, and she wears them with everything. I am a little sad that they are now gone, even though I obviously knew it would have to happen someday.

And, you know it is a successful day when Camille falls asleep on the car ride home:

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
