Merry Christmas!

 
Merry Christmas! 

Christmas Eve fun definitely wore our 3 out because they actually slept in...Merry Christmas to Kris and I!  These little people can only contain their excitement for so long though... 

Lucky for them, Santa came!
Riley got the doll that she was hoping for 
And Piper got her Minnie Mouse doll house.
And little Livvy with absolutely no expectations was completely thrilled with the new bike that Santa brought for her

There were cardboard pirate ships and board games 
 
and babies balancing on top of packages

 
Piper got her very own baby to snuggle on 
and Kris got a Broncos jersey for a current Broncos player...a big upgrade from his Tebow one ;)
 
Riley could not wait to dive into every single package with her name on it, while Piper was more content than we have ever seen her just to sit and play with her new doll house.  But we took a little break from the fun around our tree to have Christmas breakfast with the Nelsons.  The girls loved that we had their favorite...cinnamon rolls!
And then it was back to opening packages and playing with fun new toys.  Lucky for Piper and Riley, Olivia was not quite as quick at opening her presents and she was okay to have plenty of help from her big sisters.

We spent Christmas evening with my family at Gigi and Pop's house.  The girls had another round of special surprises and lots of time to play and be played with.
Pop put his engineering skills to work and built a fun light switch box for our Livvy who loves to turn things on and off right now
Auntie Kelly made each of the girls their very own tie blanket that they could not wait to snuggle up in
 


And Riley is going to get to learn more about something that she loves...ice skating lessons!




Each year our family grows a little more and every Christmas adds more memories and traditions to the ones that came before.  We are so lucky to have these 3 beautiful girls who make our lives so full and so thankful for the moments we spend with our family and friends.
