Making and decorating sugar cookies. Darrell and I frosted and then "helped" the kids put the sprinkles on. Tyler even tried his hand at frosting a few cookies and didn't do too bad.
Our stockings
The kids enjoyed helping me wrap presents. They took the tubes and extra paper and made a "boat" on the couch.
Megan and Tyler lined up the animals from the Fisher Price Little People Nativity and Noah's Ark.
We opened the presents from Darrell's mom and sister on the Friday night before Christmas. (December 21.) The kids were soooo excited!
Tyler and Emily wanted a picture by the tree.
We took turns opening gifts. Tyler wanted to go fast and the girls wanted to take their time and play with each gift before moving on to the next one.
(A little side note: Megan was SO thankful for her presents and kept saying, "Thank you, Mommy! Thank you!" At first she wanted to carry all of her gifts around. You can see her holding her new clothes while Emily opens her present.)
Darrell could NOT have been more thrilled about getting a little Ford truck just like Tyler's. It was his favorite present.

We took our Christmas tree and decorations down on Saturday, December 22.
The kids in their Christmas clothes on Sunday, December 23. Tyler got a matching tie with Darrell.

I love that last picture of Tyler putting his arms around the girls! They're getting so big!
