We started the celebration of Christmas with a "happy birthday Jesus" party at Makayla's school. we had a ton of fun!
I think the sweetest thing was that Mak included Hana in everything they did as a class...and she was really proud of her little sister.
Here below is Makayla and her close buddies Ainlsy and Natalie! Cute.
The kids stockings at the Barber Christmas!
Makayla had a ton of fun just playing with the toys that sing Christmas songs.....(like the kind you get at hallmark if you buy a thousand cards! )
Mak and Hana at home opening their stockings. They were so excited for each other...it was adorable.
We got the girls a big dry erase board to share...they both love to draw and mak goes through paper like it's going out of style...it was fun to see their reaction.
Shortly after company arrived Mak started complaining that she didn't feel good...she never threw up thank goodness...but she went to her room to read a book and fell asleep..she slept straight through dinner and dessert..from noon till about 5:30!
Two of the girls favorite toys are this race track and the kitchen below! They are little girls who love a sense of adventure :)
Here is Hana conked out in her new Cinderella sleeping bag. "It's just what I've always wanted....I asked Santa for a sleeping bag and I got it...isn't that amazing?" Hana was thrilled to have her very own sleeping bag.
Sorry there are no pictures of dinner or of my wonderful family who came to join us...I was pretty busy chatting..making yams and such and tending to a little sick one! We had a Fabulous time! One of my favorite parts of the whole day was that it snowed! Wonderful big flakes of snow falling on the ground as we prepared and ate our Christmas feast! It was too good to be true. And although missed having my parents here in a terrible way....it made me feel closer to home having it snow on Christmas day! We ate entirely too much food...used my Christmas dishes...and are now recovering. The girls are watching Little mermaid..Dj is asleep on the couch...and here I am...updating you all....and especially those of you (Becky) who said..."hey...why no Christmas blog yet?" Love you beck. Oh...another cute detail...Hana woke up first thing in the morning..put a new princess dress on and wore it clear through the day till bedtime! What a little Darling....and we all slept till 10 the next day! Hallelujah :)

Hey Jenny,
I loved all the pictures, what beautiful little dolls you have! Oh, I know the excitement of they have when they open presents is so much fun, and contagious! I'm bummed they didn't feel too hot, but glad they didn't throw up, that's the worst! Well, I can't wait to get together again soon! Happy new year!
Love, Jacquie <><

Aaahhh, sounds magical! (Except for Mak not feeling to well - I hope everyone is healthy now!) Thanks for the pictures and the post... it is fun to see what a wonderful Christmas you had! I'm working on sorting through my pics and will hopefully have a post up this afternoon. Looking forward to speaking with you soon!
Love, Becky
I'm commenting so I don't appear to be a blog lurker... those are bad.
Even though I heard all about Christmas earlier it was fun to see the pictures.
Have a great day!
