If you didn't catch on earlier, this was our first Christmas away from extended family and just the 4 of us. It was bitter sweet, as I'm sure you can imagine. We all slept in until about 10 am, and then got the video camera ready to record the morning/day with the girls. They came down to enjoy their stockings and gifts from Santa. Thanks to my dad, we also got to enjoy my favorite Christmas breakfast, svenhard cinnamon rolls! We took our time, all day, let the girls open a few gifts, play with them, watch one of their movies, take a nap, and open some more. I think we finally finished about 4:00 in the afternoon. It was a pretty mellow day. After the last gift was opened, we decided to take advantage of the 75 degree Florida weather and go swimming at a Disney Marriott Resort. The pool was cooler than we expected though so we just hung out in the spa for awhile and then went home to make delicious tacos for dinner. A pretty simple and humble Christmas, but one to be remembered for sure!
The girls were spoiled thanks to family and Santa and we were grateful :) We focused more on videotaping that morning so we have few pictures... but the ones we do have can be enjoyed!

Loving her new princess power wheel car... she tried to drive it but couldn't quite get the hang of it. She would push the peddle and then take her foot off it, and she rarely had her hands on the wheel- too funny. So the car sat in the living room for a week and she happily played inside of it everyday. It's since gone outside, but we still try to enjoy it on the patio when the weather is nice.
A princess chair just for Brooklynn... she loves it!
I imagine it sitting in the sand on future Laughlin trips with the family!
