Christmas!!

Santa did come! For a while there it seemed iffy as to whether he should or not! I think they made out pretty good this year! Piper came into our room at 5....and not b/c she was excited about Santa (I think she had forgot) but just b/c she was awake! I think sleeping until 10 Saturday morning and being asleep by 8:30 on Christmas Eve, she just wasn't tired! I laid with her a while and tried to get her back to sleep, at 5:45 I told her I was going back to my bed and she could just play on the Ipad until it was time to get up! About 7:30 she came back into my room and she hung out with us until Presley woke up about 8. They were so excited! Presley has REALLY been into all of it this year!

Seems fitting for this girl!

Santa brought her that chair, similar to the reading chairs at school that she likes...How did Santa know?

Fart gun! Her friend Carver has one and she loves it! How did Santa know?

This girl has been begging for scarves! She got a pink and black one! 

The one thing she has asked for over the last 6 months.....an American Girl doll popcorn set! Santa was hesitant to buy this b/c normally we get the cheap American Girl doll stuff. 

Our Generation doll for Piper! (or what we call American Girl doll, since they don't know the difference and they are $100 cheaper! ha!)

And another for Presley (this is #4 for her!)

Santa made a gymnastics set for her dolls!

and their dollhouse! It's big and so cool (and b/c it's not 'Barbie' it was way cheaper than most Barbie houses!) Our house has officially been overtaken with Barbie and American Girl dolls!

The girls were really happy about their gifts and then came the fighting and the attitudes. Everyone on Facebook talked about the wonderful time with their family and we were at home with snotty kids and taking presents away from them b/c they were being ungrateful (Presley still hasn't earned that popcorn set back yet!) After some time outs and tears we finally regrouped!
Then we made some food (and by 'we' I mean Steve). Got packed up and headed to my parents at about 11:30.

The one thing on her list! A guitar!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

Presley got an American Girl doll kitchen set! Only 3000 pieces! But she loves it!

Holly was super excited about her new bird feeder to go up at her new house!

Mary was super excited about her badmitton/volleyball set! Love the look!

We did our white elephant gift exchange (I got a SUPER adult coloring book and colored pencils!) and then we also played this saran wrap game, it was fun! The adults had to use gloves to make it a little harder and there were little toys and candies along the way and the person who got the middle prize won $25 gift cards to Target, which were won by Boston and Mary!

 It was a fun game and we'll be doing it again next year! Actually we might use this game at Presley's birthday party in February!

 

Once we got home our house looked like a tornado went thru! The amount of toys and crap everywhere about gave me an anxiety attack!

Then shit hit the fan when Presley front tooth started bleeding. It's really so sad that she is so scared. It breaks our heart that she has to go thru it like this. We don't like it either. It took us a good hour to calm her down and 'convince' her to let us pull it. (and by convince, I mean that she did agree that we need to pull it but she was not happy about it and didn't want it to hurt) And it wasn't so much as just us pulling it, as it was me holding her arms down, Steve holding her head in his arm and forcing her mouth open! I'm telling ya, this is terrible for all of us! She said that she just wants to be me b/c then she would be done losing teeth! :(
Once that was all over we found Piper in the bathroom putting on her new make-up!

Presley was very happy to have it all over with and within 10 minutes she was back to being happy again. It was hard for her to eat but she did, she fell asleep in our bed that night, which was fine since I felt so bad for her anyways! Look at her poor puffy eyed, crying face! :( Seriously heart-breaking!
