Merry Christmas

We saved some cookies that the girls and Grandma made so that Santa would have a good snack.

Sants was very very good to the girls this year.  Lots of presents for two good little girls.

My girly girl.  Anything that has anything to do with makeup or hair makes her very happy.

Sasha wanted a xylophone.  She got the whole band.  Lots of noise with this set.

We might as well throw in a guitar.  Wait that is a Dora guitar!  Even better.

I tried to keep up with the used paper, but the girls got me getting the 100,000 twist ties off their toys and putting the 5000 batteries in.

Each girl got a box of assorted clothes.  I think Leeza ended up wearing a total of 8 or 9 different outfits today.

Future engineer ready for the construction site.  Not that mommy is planninng their college years for them already.  Well, maybe just a little.

Another dolly that pees.  This one also talks and actually can poop.  Somehow, the food that makes the poop accidentally got thrown out.  Pee I can handle, a doll that poops- why why why????  The doll comes with 2 diapers.  They lasted about 15 minutes before they were soaked.

Sasha also got a keyboard( the guitar was Leeza's).  This one has a volume control so I love it.

Lots of presents left to go, but you have to hold on to the dolly.

Leeza loves her hairdresser outift.  She wore it for several hours.

They are starting the trading.  They traded a bunch of presents back and forth.  Both seemed happy in the end with what they had.

New t shirt and dool crib and dolls.  I think this was outfit 4 for Leeza for the day. 

Just a few of the dolls they got.  There are 7 princess dolls, a barbie and barbie horse, another doll that pees and another Lalaloopsy doll missing from the picture.

They like their tool bench.  It has a light, circular saw, drill press and several other tools.  You can also pound in plastic nails and screw in plastic screws.

You can really saw the wood apart(break the velcro anyway) and drill out the plastic plugs in the wood(plastic ) pieces,

Giving the babies a drink of water that becomes pee about 30 seconds later.  After they used all the diapers up, they let them pee on the sofa and the carpet and just about everywhere. 

Christmas Eve

  I let the girls open presents from others at different times so they can enjoy each set of gifts.  Too many gifts overwhelm them and they end up not playing with half of them.  On Christmas Eve, we opened presents from Aunt Shawnna, cousin Kelsey and Uncle Dan.

 The girls are skilled now in opening boxes and packages of all types.

 Sasha got her Lightening McQueen pillow pal that she has been wanting.  Sh carried it around for the longest time and sleeps with it every night.  Leeza and Sasha fight over the pillow most nights.

 Leeza got her doll that pees.  It also bounces and giggles and makes a lot of other noises.  After two hours, Leeza asked me to show her the off switch!  She still carried it around, it just didn't make as much noise.

 The gifts were a big hit with the girls.

Mom got some towels which the girls quickly claimed.  the box they came in became a bed and the towels- sheets. Maybe I will get to use them in a week or two.

Santa visit

 How could that be at the door???

 Oh no, Santa has come in person to see if the girls are being nice or naughty.  Which will he decide?

 I guess getting a candy cane means that you are on the nice list!  Both girls made the Nice list!  Santa even said mommy made the Nice list.  The girls told Santa what they wanted for Christmas- Leeza wanted a Barbie and Sasha wanted a black music box thing(also known as a CD player). 

Santa had time for just a few picutres as he had a busy schedule.  So many children to check on.  At least my girls can rest easy now, they are on the nice list!



Grandma- Day 5

 Grandma plane leaves this afternoon to go back to Arizona.  It was a fun visit.

Lots of activites took place.

 Both girls like their desks and used them.  We went out to lunch and then headed for the airport.  The girls were sad to have Grandma leave.

It was a short visit, but the girls had a lot of fun.  Grandma wore them out.  Maybe they wore Grandma out too.

We made Grandma a scrapbook of her visit.  WE hope it holds a lot of good memories.

Grandma Day 4

Morning starts early at the Harmon house.

More presents today.  these are from Aunt Debbie and Uncle John.  The girls are using their new desks for just about everything.  Leeza still loves her pink hair from Disney.  She wears it every weekend.

Sasha loves books and Aunt Debbie didn't disappoint her.

Of course, there was also hair supplies.  Leeza is a girly girl and loves her hair to be done.

Sasha got the package of barretts and hair ribbons too.

Grandma got to do lots of hair dos all day long.

Grandma- Day 3

Grandma and the girls just hanging out and watching TV.

Time for presents.  Grandma and Grandpa got the girls art desks and makeup kits.  The girls loved both of them.

About 10 tubes of lip gloss, lots of eye shadow and a mirror were all included in the kit.

Then it was time for the PJ party with Santa at the zoo.  They got to pet about a half dozen animal.  They could only look at the owl since he didn't like to be petted.

They liked the ferret.  It was a fat ferret.

Grandma didn't like the snake.

After the animals, we made pinecone snowmen skiing down a slope.

It was messy, but fun.

Then on to the cookie table where the girls frosted and ate their cookies,.

Then another art project.  Lots of gluing and glitter and cutting and pasting.

Then it was back to the main room to wait for Santa to appear.  With a hug or two for Grandma during the wait.

Finally Santa came along with Mrs Santa.  Santa read stories to the kids.

And then it was time to see if they would sit on Santa's lap.  Up they went and climbed right into his lap.  Nothing like last year.

Yeah! Mama got a good picture of Santa and the girls. Everyone was smiling. Merry Christmas everyone!
