Opening presents

We did not tell the girls that we were going to open presents today. Bill had to work for a few hours this morning and when he got home we told the girls it was finally time to open presents. Needless to say they were very excited. Bill and I joked that we should time how long it takes to open presents, it didn't take long!

 The big girls were ready to open their presents but they had to wait for dad, who was busy taking all kind of pictures!
 We get the girls the same things each year and it is starting to be funny because Jennifer knows! She will tell us what each present is, books, games, a movie or a new dress! Even though she knows she is still over the top excited about each thing she opens, which I must admit I love.
 Mikayla was all over her presents this year. We had to keep an eye on her because she would have ripped through her stack without us watching if we weren't careful.
 Kelly didn't get quite as much as the big girls but we didn't want to leave her out! I just love that she is sitting up a little bit on her own. Fun to watch her growing and changing right now.

 After opening the presents it is always fun to spend the next few hours playing. The girls got Operation and at first they were a little unsure about it. But then the giggling began, it was sweet to listen to them!
 And Twister was another game the girls got. This is going to be tons of fun for them. Kelly even got in on the action for a little bit. Although Jennifer was quick to tell Bill that she couldn't really play, she is too little after all!
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas with your families!
