CHRISTMAS 2011

I love Christmas. I mean I freaking love it. I am one of those annoying people that start celebrating right after Halloween. This year was no different. Hannah was so much fun this year. It was the first year that she was willing to open presents. Not only was she willing, but she absolutely loved it! Lauren loved opening too, as she always has. This was the first year that Lauren didn't believe in Santa anymore though. :( It was a bummer but we still had fun with it. She took the reigns in moving our Elf, Jenny, every night. She absolutely loved doing it and we were happy to hand that little chore right over. She was a lot more creative than we were and she NEVER forgot. Way to go Lauren!

We were also overjoyed this year as we got our biggest Christmas wish granted just a few days before Christmas. My mom had the tumor removed from her lung and the biopsy results came back NEGATIVE!!!!! We were beyond excited!! She has been with us ever since and is recovering nicely!

"Mom! It's an Ipad!!"

Yelling "Cut the Rope! Cut the Rope" (her favorite app) What? Doesn't every 3 year old have a favorite app?
