Christmas morning was a little different for us this year. We had our first Christmas alone since Madison was born. We have always had family at our house bright and early to watch the girls wake up and see what Santa brought them or we have traveled to Grandma and Grandpa's house to enjoy Christmas with them. We had planned on spending time with Uncle Shea and Aunt Elisabeth from Flag but due to the snow they were unable to come down. Nate's brother now lives in Seattle with his wife and have a baby due any day now. My parents live in Austin and could not get time off work to come out to Arizona. And last but not least my brother and his family live in Kentucky and spent time with Erin's parents this year. So this year I told the girls to come wake us up when they got up. Of course we were already awake when we heard tiny footsteps creeping around the house. We figured it was Morgan because our clock read 7:30 which meant her clock read 7:00. We adjusted the time awhile back when we told her she could not get up until 7am. Well she must wake up around 6am because every morning right at 7am she would come wake me up. So we figured the adjustment of time was good for everyone! Madison noticed a change in her clock the day I did it but to a 6 year she thinks that a digital clock can just run slow and that her clock has something wrong with it.
Anyway back to Christmas morning...so we heard Morgan walk into the living room at which point we thought she would come running into our room to tell us Santa had come. Well instead we her the sound of the T.V and just start cracking up because that is normally her routine. She wakes up and either comes in our room or turns on cartoons. So I have to then get out of bed and go tell her to wake up Madison who is still sound asleep. I run jump back in bed and wait for Madison to see what Santa has brought. The next thing I know Madison is running into our room saying "Santa came..Santa came!!". Now that was the reaction I was hoping for!
We then called Grandma and Grandpa in Texas to tell them we were finally up and turn on their Skype. We were able to enjoy the opening of presents with them via the computer which was really fun and we got to watch them open their gifts. Technology..isn't it great!!
The most important gift Santa brought was Tumbles. The girls have been wanting him since he came out and saw him on T.V.
Madison and Morgan each received double strollers from Aunt Erin which I must say was a huge hit!
Madison got a Baby Alive doll that actually wets her diaper. I think Santa knew mommy would like this one because she can drink plain water and we don't have to worry about any messes...whew!
Here is Morgan with her favorite puppy Max who is part of the family now and her newest love Tumbles. If you notice in the background Bailee is patiently waiting for someone to throw her new squeaky toy Santa brought her...ahhh. 
Madison wanted this journal so that there was something she could keep Morgan out of. We are reaching the stage of wanting more space and unfortunately Morgan is at the stage where she wants to do everything with Maddie. I can't believe Madison will be 7 next month and before I know it she will be turning 14...oh my!To end we wrapped up our opening of presents and then went over to visit with Nate's parents for awhile. We had a nice but quiet Christmas and enjoyed our time together as a family.
