Christmas has past!

Ok....I know...it happened over a week ago, but we had a good Christmas...and I am still cleaning up!

I was wrapping up to the last minute this year!

My sister Karen and her lovely family joined us from Sacramento.  She helped me with the last minute prep!

Then the magic happened...

Santa stopped at the Sims!

Ryann got a new doll house!  She has spent a lot of time rearranging the furniture.  Someone knew Santa was bringing this and gave us several rooms of furniture.

Grace got the Tangled castle...if you haven't seen Disney's latest fairytale, it is fantastic.

Grace also got this beautiful ballerina doll. 

Gavyn got a new train in Utah, but Santa brought him a new tool bench in Sacramento.  What a lucky kid!  Christmas x2!

Ryann got "Slinky" from the Toy Story movies.  This was all she wanted and he is a hit.

She also got this beautiful doll.  The doll looks just like Ryann and sleeps with her every night.

Ella is enjoying her new blocks from Santa, but has a new kitchen back home in California.  Lucky girl!

Uncle Keith was home from San Diego this year.  He spoiled us all rotten!

Grandpa Larry was pleased as punch with his new WWII bomber jacket.  

Aunt Karen and Uncle Steve snuggled up on the floor with presents galore.

Had to post this pic of Ella with her Cindy-Lou Who hair.  So cute!

 

Now do you see why I am still cleaning up?  

Grace in her Tangled wig from Uncle Keith.  She makes a perfect Rapunzel.

I made breakfast for everyone and we enjoyed laying around playing with all the new toys all day.

We ended the day with our traditional prime rib dinner (no one took a pic of the beautiful 10 lb. beast).

I still think mine is the best in town.

My Great Aunt Thelma and her dog Myra were with us for the day.

Everyone was so generous with the gifts, but the best part of our Christmas this year was, we were all together as a family.  It was a perfect holiday!
