The hair gets a little crazy when Mom is not there.
On Christmas Eve the girls sang in the choir at church just like they did at Easter. They loved it. Mia is in the back on the right. Rylee is next to her.
Anna is in the middle row on the left.
Afterwards we got home and Oli put Baby Jesus in the manger.
We ate lasagna and then opened presents!!
Oli loved the backpack we gave him so much he wore it all Christmas morning as he rode around on his new bike.
And then it was Christmas morning at our house! Mia wanted her electric guitar from Santa to be wrapped. And so, of course, Anna wanted her bike wrapped too! That wasn't going to happen. Instead, we wrapped a big box with a bag of rice in it and a note that said to look in the unfinished basement. She didn't get it. She was actually happy to get "her own" bag of rice. She LOVES plain white rice.
But somehow we got her in there to find her rainbow bike. This is the bike she said she wanted BEFORE she told Santa she wanted a gold bike. We decided we were not going to take back the bike we already bought. And do you know what she said when she saw it, "Just what I asked Santa for!!" Huh?
Mia was soooo excited about getting an electric guitar! She hasn't used it once since Christmas Day. Oh well.
Whatever this was I don't remember but Anna was sure excited to get it!
We also surprised the girls with electric scooters. I was a little apprehensive about it but they love them and are using them responsibly...so far!
In the afternoon we had a few families over for prime rib which Dan smoked in the smoker. It was a Merry Christmas!
