Christmas Morning

I should have had an idea of how the morning would go by who is missing in this picture. The kids were so excited to see what Santa brought, but Ella refused to take a picture. So as she is hiding around the corner we get one quick shot of Natalie and Cameron. At least it shows Natalie missing her two front teeth for Christmas. We had to make sure that Cameron received plenty of BOY things since he is surrounded by sisters and tends to have a little too much fun with the girl toys and clothes.

He loves his new monkey from Grandma and Grandpa that he can add to his monkey collection.

Santa brought Ella and Natalie a big dollhouse with lots of furniture. I am not sure how we got a picture of Ella smiling because she spent the whole morning crying. She wanted to know where her dollhouse was because this one was for Natalie. I explained that Santa brought it for them to share. Apparently not an acceptable answer. Every gift she opened after that was not the right one and the tears came and the crying continued. Not sure that this is how Christmas morning is supposed to go.

Natalie and Ella got some really cute craft boxes from Nana with tons of fun stuff inside including aprons with their names on them.

The day did get better and later Ella informed us that it was the best day of her life.
