Christmas was a blur but sooooo wonderful!

What a fun whirlwind!!

Dec. 22 - We headed up to Austintown for the Stapleton Christmas. It was a wonderful time, but the car ride home was really rough for the girls. We left at 6pm..... learned our lesson with that :P Kaiya and Cassie loved hanging with their cousins and Aunt and Uncle and of course Papa. It was such a fun day!

Dec. 23 - Papa (Preston's Dad) came down to Columbus to spend some more time with the girls and watch the bowl games with Preston. The girls loved getting an extra Papa hit as well as him spending the night and waking him up on the couch!

Dec. 24 - Woke up with the girls, went to Breakfast with Papa, Preston and the girls. Then went to KB toys for Preston's Dad to get presents for Hanni and Chaz. After that, we went over the Em's to deliver the presents and hang with them for a bit. Then we got all gussied up and headed to the Knights house for Christmas Eve Dinner with Mom, Dad and GiGi. It was wonderful, the girls were a hit and Kaiya was thrilled that Anna had brought her dog, Reggie the weiner dog, for her to play with:P Cassie has a sea of admireres and had a ball. Both girls chilled all the way home and Cassie slept through the night!

Dec. 25 - woke up and opened presents at our house - Kaiya was sooooo excited and kept going "OH WOW!!". It was so cute. Then we chilled and dressed the girls in their PJs from Aunt Emy and headed over to Mom and Dad's. The girls were spoiled again there and had so much fun with everyone. We had lunch there and relaxed:)

That was IT!!! It was so fun. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that you enjoy the pictures!!!

Kaiya and Cassie met Santa today

It went well..........

The tree

Also known as the "pretty" in our house. Kaiya loves it and has not even stolen any ornaments!! Cass loves staring at the tree :) We have to keep her away from Christmas lights because she wont sleep if she sees them :P

Beautiful dresses on beautiful girls

Gramma Patty got those perfect dresses for the girls for Christmas. They love them and I love the way they look in them! Thank you again Patty!!!!

The Easton Lighted Carriage Parade:)

This was pretty cool:) Well - COLD!! The girls were all bundled and cute. The parade was really neat, the had all sizes of horses, including shetland ponies pulling mini carriages!! The final one were these huge goreous all black horses... they looked like black Clidesdales.... it was so cool! Poor Kaiya... she would get excited each time a lighted horse and carriage would come past us and then as soon as they started to get out of her sight - she would get upset and say Oh no, oh no, horsies!!! And when we left - she was unconsolable :( She is so funny!!! It was so cool though and we are definitely making this an annual event:)
