For the past several years, we have gone to Lake Eufaula in the afternoon, on Christmas Day. Thankfully, there was just enough time in the car, that Madison got a little nap before we got there. Mack & Madi are always so excited to see their cousins & Grandma and Grandpa Baldwin! Everyone arrived around 4:30, we had dinner, opened presents, visited, and headed home a little before 10:00. It was a fun, fast evening! Grandma Baldwin is always so good to make special gifts for the girls...this year she made them doll clothes, nightgowns & new blankets. So sweet! Grandma & Grandpa also got all of the kids new "piggy" banks for Christmas. Both of the girls got Butterfly Banks! It's so funny to watch the kids play together...they usually pair up...Collin & Jareck, Bailey & Mackenzie, and Cole & Madison. How fun to have cousins to grow up with! Some other favorite gifts for Mackenzie were: a horse for her new doll, a mermaid Barbie (from Uncle Danny & Aunt Amy), a tiny little teacup piggy, Zoobles (from Aunt Tomi & Uncle Jason), and a hair styling doll (from Uncle Stephen & Aunt Tamara). Some of Madison's favorite gifts: a Rapunzel doll (she calls her "Tangled" and loves her hair!), an Aquadoodle (from Uncle Danny & Aunt Amy), Color Wonders stuff (from Aunt Tomi & Uncle Jason), a Cinderella bath baby (from Uncle Stephen & Aunt Tamara), and Squinkies! And of course, Grandma Baldwin picked out lots of cute, cute clothes for the girls! I actually think Madison may have been most excited about the chocolate candy she found in her stocking...she didn't waste any time...she dug right in! By the time Christmas was over, the girls had opened a TON of presents. We are so blessed with a wonderful family. It was a very Merry Christmas!
I'm with Madison...Christmas is exhausting!
Mackenzie & her new "American Girl" doll, Jenny!
Silly faces!
I don't know what this was about, but I looked over and Madison was sitting in Mackenzie's lap & they were both just happy as could be! =0) I love it that they love each other so much. (Well, most of the time, anyway!) They look so much alike in this picture.
Time for stockings!
She likes her chocolate!
Fun, sweet memories!
I guess they were working off some of the candy & dessert they ate!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night! (Boy am I glad to finally be done blogging about Christmas!)
