Catch up time!

So I have tons of things to blog about, and I am going to try to get them all done this week! We have had such a fun holiday season. I think it just gets more and more fun as the girls get older. It's been awesome to see the wonder in their eyes as they see a huge display of lights, watch as they learn about the real reason we celebrate Christmas, or see the excitement that they have as the open their presents. I love the fact that Christmas is so magical for them.
Here are some of my favorite things about the holidays this year -
*Every single time we are out at night, the girls yell "Christmas lights!!!" any time they see a house lit up. A couple of times we have been out late, and as they get more tired, their yell becomes a whisper from the backseat.
*Santa called our house, and it was amazing! So amazing, that it is worth an entire blog entry of its own!
*When we went to see Santa, neither girl even attempted to sit on his lap. In their defense, he was extra creepy and super old. I really would not have wanted to sit on his lap either!
*Adilyn loved looking at the presents that were wrapped under the tree. She knew immediately when there were new presents under there, and she had to go check them out.
*We went to "Celebration" at First Baptist Church, and Adilyn was totally into all the different story lines. She had so many questions about baby Jesus and all that she saw after it was over. I loved looking down the row of seats at her when something completely amazed her. Kacy was not so into it. Every single time a song finished, she would say, "Mama, done? Done now?" Yeah, she said that for almost 2 hours...
*I could not get a cute picture of them the entire holiday season! We tried to do Christmas card pictures in front of the tree, and all I got were ridiculous funny faces and wrestling.
Pictures of all our fun events and more holiday stories to come!
