This year for Christmas, we waited Christmas for family to come into town. We had a great time and it was worth the wait.
Grandma got the girls a very special surprise...
A real piano to practice on! It is actually an electric piano that sounds just like a regular piano. But it can do more stuff and it doesn't weigh as much!
Then we enjoyed a nice dinner. Since neither of us really like turkey or ham that much we decided to try a roast this year. It was delicious and we may have started a tradition!
After dinner, Theo read the Christmas story, then we opened gifts.
In our house, we take turns opening presents, and we choose a carol to sing before we pick a gift to open. Apparently Grandpa sang too loudly.
Katie and Lizzy each got a cute animal sweatshirt.
Katie got a new camera she has been hoping for. And I got the protection plan in case it is dropped. I am sure we will get our $7 out of that!
Theo got me a pretty new pair of earrings!
Lizzy got a Barbie Dream House. She has been begging for one for awhile now. We were lucky and got it from a friend who was giving away her daughter's after she outgrew it! I put all the pieces in a big bag and then told her to go get a big box out of the closet to put them all in.
She was very excited when she saw the "box".
Grandma got Grandpa a much needed bib!
We got all of the grandparents a photo book for Christmas. We had ordered one for Grandma in India and it turned out so pretty that we ordered one for everyone. I even found a sale so I could get the bigger size!
My gift to Theo was a new smartphone. He'll finally have to give up his trusty, old $10 Nokia phone.
Lizzy is now sleeping with her boyfriend!
Katie playing with Legos from Christmas.
Playing a song on the new piano!
