The Daily Life of The Stoddards: Christmas 2009

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year! Christmas is just so much more fun and magical when you have your own kids! Keslin was totally in tune with Santa Clause coming to town this year...it was so fun to see the look on her face when she woke up Christmas morning and saw all of the goodies Santa had brought her:0) Her wish list included a doll house, a car, a camera, and a playhouse (the best we could do was a power wheels...i think she was asking for the "real deal", but she's going to have to wait about 13 more years!)
On Christmas Eve we went to my grandparents house as usual, along with all of the rest of my mom's side of the family. We had our traditional feast of Fondue and Lot's of other goodies. The girl's got all dressed up in their Christmas dresses and loved showing them off to everyone. Christmas morning the girls dug right in and opened up all of their presents with tons of excitement...it's amazing how quickly the presents get unwrapped in comparison to how long it takes to wrap them!
After opening gifts, we headed to my mom and dad's for a delicious Christmas breakfast, followed by more present opening with the girls. Man did they get spoiled, thanks mom and dad for all of the fun stuff for the kids! We then headed into Portland where we celebrated Christmas with the Thompson side of the family and at more food! We had an awesome holiday and can't wait to do it all over again next year!
