Here is the second go around for Christmas when my family came over on Christmas Day. Kara went to take a nap shortly after the gift opening started, so Addison had the spotlight. Movies:
Christmas Movie 1 This is when the girls first woke up and saw their presents on Christmas Day.
Christmas was nuts this year with both girls going present crazy the entire time. It was hard to get Addison to understand that all of the kid presents were not just for her. We had a lot of the "sharing speech" going on. Kara has been very patient with her sister taking her toys until she received a little pink kids laptop this Christmas that she can hit the keys and it plays songs or talks. When Addison tried to take this from her for the first time Kara screamed at Addison so loud it made her scared and cry. I was glad that Kara stood up for herself , however, I also realized there would be some fun possession issues in the future.
The train under the tree was a huge hit this year for both kiddos, with Addison wanting the remote control constantly. We left the tree/train set up much longer than we should have since they liked it so much.
Kelly's mom got the girls an outdoor play set for Christmas that has two slides, a tunnel, and a little enclosed area with a door. It is the perfect size for the girls, and they both love messing around on it. We set it up prior to Christmas so that the girls could play on it before the weather turned colder. Here are some fun shots of them playing on it and two movies as well. The first movie is Addison and Kara seeing it for the first time, and Addison is her usual shy self when seeing a surprise.
