Christmas Pictures

I am finally getting around to posting some Christmas pictures. We spent Christmas Eve Matt's family. Poor M was exhausted after mass and got changed into her jammies before we even ate dinner. I feel like a horrible mom because I did not get a family picture (or any picture for that matter) of M still dressed in her Christmas dress. I did manage to get one picture of the girls and their cousins before M went to sleep, but she was already in her jammies by that time.

Christmas morning was very restful. M enjoyed opening her presents, but she mostly loved just playing with and eating the paper. G's favorite present was one Santa brought her - a pink elephant. She had been telling us for about 5 or 6 that she wanted Santa to bring her a pink elephant, so of course he delivered because she was on the nice list! The pink elephant does not leave her side. She also got a sling to coordinate with mommy's new sling. She didn't want to wear it at first, but once her little cousin tried it on with her baby then she just had to wear it and hold baby in it.

My family came up on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. It was a very busy house with a 7 year old, 2 two year olds, and a 9 month old. Matt was very brave and took the 3 older girls to the park to play and fly a kite. He was even able to get pictures while watching after the 2 year olds - I'm impressed! We also managed to get a picture of all the girls and no one was crying.
