We had a super-fun evening last night with friends and family. It started with Cassidy coming over. Grace gave Cassidy her Christmas gift as soon as we finished eating.
It's a Jessie doll from Toy Story! Grace was so excited to give this to Cassidy.
Kids love to play with other kids' toys. Cassidy was so eager to play with all of the toys in the basement. She barely stopped playing all night.
The girls decided to play dress up. Grace dressed as Cinderella. This was her cute pose for a picture.
Gabriel is just goofy in photographs lately!
Cassidy wanted to dress like a rock star. I think she certainly looks the part.
Then Grace had a streak of jealousy and wanted to be a rock star too. I think the glasses make the outfit. (This is photography by Gabriel, by the way. Good job, Buddy!)
Here are our four cuties. They were singing Christmas carols, led by Abby.
The next thing we knew, Santa was coming down the stairs!
Gabriel told Santa that he wanted Radiator Springs Cars.
Abby was not shy to sit with Santa and tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Unfortunately, Cassidy and Grace would not get close to Santa.
Santa gave Grace a Princess Pea wand from the show Super Why!
Papaw helped Gabriel and Grace open their gifts.
Santa read the kids the story The Night Before Christmas before he left.
Santa brought Abby a princess fishing game. It was a big hit with all of the kids.
After we watched some Christmas movies, Abby and Grace exchanged gifts. Grace gave Abby some Disney puzzles.
Abby gave Grace a princess castle. Do you see a theme with these girls?
Grace was checking out her loot.
Then the kids played another round of princess fishing.
The Hoylands gave Gabriel and RC car. He LOVES it!
Missy and I exchanged gifts. Abby helped her mommy open her gift.
Missy put lip glosses on the outside of Grace's package. She was kind enough to share her lip gloss with me.
Abby is such an actress! She pretended to be asleep in her daddy's lap. She looks absolutely angelic, doesn't she?
I don't think Missy and I have had our picture taken with our girls since I was in the hospital right after having Grace. They are beautiful girls! I am really blessed to have such a wonderful best friend.Thank you to our friends and family who joined us last night for a fun and laid back evening.
