Christmas Day!

 Santa came!!

 Opening gifts!







Even though we miss our family we had a great Christmas!  The kids got everything they wanted and had fun opening everything!  We spent the day hanging around the apartment and playing with their new toys and getting ready for vacation. 
We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  We miss you all!!

 Our last day with Jingles, she left a note telling the kids they were allowed to kiss her good-bye!

 Good-bye Jingles...see you next year!


 We hung our Santa key outside so Santa could get into the apartment.
Cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.  The girls also wrote Santa letters.
