The girls actually woke us up this year!! They were up early and wanted to open up presents!!! Here are the girls waiting to see what Santa brought!
The girls only ask Santa for one gift and he is obedient and brings one gift and their stockings! Tiana opened up an out fit for an 18" doll - I sure hope she gets the doll!!!
Larisa opened up some Pink Ice perfume - yum, her favorite!!
We did it a little different this year! We first opened up the gifts from Mom and Dad. I hid them in different rooms and then gift by gift I would send them into a different room to find their gifts. It made it last a little longer, and of course I had them open the gift the wanted most - last!!
They started out opening gifts to help them remember the true meaning of Christmas!
Yeah!! Tiana got the gift she wanted most!! She calls it her fake American Girl Doll!! It is really cute!! Her name is Eva and she also got fabric and patterns so we can make her clothes!
Larisa is excited - she knows this has to be the camera that she asked for!!! Yep, it is!!
Tia loving her doll!
Then we went up stairs and had our traditional breakfast casserole!! It is so yummy!! We then went back downstairs and opened up gift from family!! Tiana wanted to make lots of presents this year! You can imagine my surprise when she asked for a potato to make her dad a present!!! She made him a potato snowman! She then wanted a frame so she could draw a picture of the potato snowman so that when it became gross - he would always have a picture to remind him!! I love this creative child!!!
I always love(NOT) the aftermath of Christmas morning!! All of the carefully chosen gifts and wrapping paper on the ground!!
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and sleeping through movies!! It was a wonderful Christmas and I am already counting down the days until next year!!!

Looks like a wonderful Christmas! I hate cleaning up afterwards too. Such a waste of pretty paper :)
I would do well to follow your wonderful example. You are a blogging maniac! What an absolutely fun family you are! Thanks for all the memories!
Such a wonderful Christmas. What a fun idea to send them out to find their gifts. We may have to try that one, (well once Olivia has enough self control to wait to open her's when she's back with the family).
That was the best christmas ever! i had so much fun!
Sounds like you had a great Christmas! Hannah got the same doll for Christmas, but she doesn't know that its a fake! She was really excited to see that Tiana has a twin doll.
Your daughter is taking after her mother! What a thoughtful and creative gift for her father! LOVE new PJ's
