Once the girls woke up it was time to get to business. Here's Brooklynn in her new dress-up shoes from Andy and Makenzie. She's still working on the walking part, and she even likes to sleep with them at night!
Here's her new dress-up dress from Papa - a Minnie Mouse costume. This thing only comes off for baths and naptime sometimes. Of course there are times she wants to be "Princess Ona" (Fiona from Shrek), so we have to wear the purple dress for that. I can't believe what a girly-girl she has become!
Here's Chandler climbing on the new "Barbie Jumbo Jet"
And here she is playing with the new Barbie pool
After gifts it was time to eat! I was excited to host another big dinner, and we decided prime rib would be the main dish this year. After being in the oven for much longer than expected, we had to microwave our prime rib. For some reason we've been having oven issues lately. Great timing! Nothing says nice meal like microwaved prime rib! My latest baking adventure was a white chocolate peppermint cheesecake. We had one at Steve's Christmas party, and it was to die for, so I had to try it myself. Here's the finished dessert:
Some family fun with the easel
Whew! All the preparation and it's over! A little depressing when it's done, but not as bad as I thought. Now I get to look forward to next year and having two little ones who understand Christmas and enjoy the season!
