Christmas with Mammy and Papa

One of our Christmas day activities is to go to Mammy and Papa's house! It's a ton of fun. The girls have a blast. There's food, fun and presents.

Okay, okay. I had to put this picture up. It's the first thing we saw when we walked into the house. Uncle Dale was in charge of the turkey! (It was super good, by the way!)



The girls and the daddy. Notice the little hampsters in their hands...a gift they really loved. (Thanks Nanny for the cute outfits.)  

American Girl Dolls--they need no explaining.
Ella picked Felicity and McKenna picked Ivy!

See the little dress that McKenna's doll is wearing? Click here.

The girls started a gag gift tradition a few years ago. Papa pretends to be afraid of mice, so that played into this year's gag gift. Ella and McKenna picked out a little mouse ornament (the mice from Cinderella) and wrapped it up for Papa.


Papa got a little retaliation this year. He wrapped up their favorite veggie! Onions!! He's such a good Papa. The girls' faces light up when he walks into a room.

I just love all of the expressions on your kids' faces in this post!

hahaha... Papa should have cut the onions so they smelled really good when the girls opened them. :-)

I'm thinking that Dale should go to culinary school. He seems to really enjoy cooking and having been a recipient of his masterful cookery, he's good at it!
