Christmas in Vernal!

This year Christmas came early here in Vernal--since it was our year in Ogden on the actual day!  We had a nice evening with Nana and Papa where we got to open ALL their presents (and there was A LOT!) and had dinner and it was a GREAT night!  As usual, we got totally spoiled!

 The girls were pretty excited and moving really fast!

Later in the week we celebrated our early "Christmas Eve" by going to Mae's Christmas preschool program and LOVED every minute of it!  

They did a bunch of WAY cute songs, had cookies and milk for everyone (seriously, how cute of an idea is that?) and then a special someone made an appearance...

and Emme LOST it!  Lu got super shy and Mae was soooooo sweet!

 And Emme LOST it!

Later that night, for our Christmas Eve we started a new tradition to make and decorate cookies for Santa (and eat some!) and Nana and Papa got to come!  I thought it was such a special, fun way to spend this night!  The girls absolutely LOVED it and honestly, so did I!

   

The finished masterpieces :)

And then it was time for....PAJAMAS!

These two were getting a little silly, and maybe a little punchy, with all the excitement and even more excitement to come...

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!  And Santa found us!!!

Yes, it was early...why do you ask?

 BONK!

 Em is always down for candy!

 Oh how Emme loves doggies!

 Peek-A-Boo!

 Lu and her pony she had been ADORING every time we went to WalMart!  Santa knows :)

 Where could Mae's big present be?

 YAY!  It was her Ariel vanity set!

After all the presents were opened we made Santa pancakes for breakfast and the girls got a total kick out of that!

I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas morning with my little family!  Oh how I love these girlies and the happiness they bring into my life!
