An Early Christmas!

We had Christmas really early at our house this year! Since we'll be at Grandma and Grandpa's we wanted the girls to open their presents from us while at home! The only day this week that we had any time together as a family was for about a half and hour on Tuesday. So Chad took Bri to the mail box while "Santa" snuck in the house and dropped off her doll house! She LOVED it! But she kept asking for the motorcycle she wanted. (At our church party Santa teased her about maybe wanting a motorcycle and she's been expecting one ever since!!!) She has really enjoyed her doll house the last few days! Miranda enjoyed eating wrapping paper and bows, climbing on toys and mouthing everything in site! She was ready for bed right after this!I didn't get to make as many gifts this year as I wanted. I did make some pajama pants for Bri and I. Miranda just hasn't given me the time this week to finish hers yet! I did get to make this photo puzzle block set that I love. I got the idea from Roberts Craft store online and will be sharing a tutorial on my other blog in a few days. (http://www.erinnoeldesigns.blogspot.com/)Chad has enjoyed his new Mario Brothers Wii game!I got a Cricut Expression as a combined birthday/Christmas present from Chad, my parents and Chad's parents! Unfortunately I haven't even had a chance to use it yet because it's been a whirlwind of a week!!! I am so excited about it though!!!And we're off to Memphis in a half an hour. We have a red eye flight out of San Francisco tonight that has a 3 1/2 hour lay over in Dallas in the middle of the night!! The girls had a very "off" day today. In fact Miranda chose the worst day to have her worst day in a while. Luckily my good friend, Heather, came to the rescue again! Miranda had a rough night, woke up for the day at 5:15 and had a 20 min nap, a 10 min nap and is finally asleep for a little while. Now we're going to have to wake her to drive to San Fran and she doesn't sleep well anywhere but in her room! Unfortunately she is getting sick and hasn't been able to breathe out of her stuffy nose all day. Brianna decided to wake up 3 hours earlier today too! So, I got 4 hours of sleep last night, had a screaming baby all day and I get to travel all night with girls who most likely won't sleep. If Miranda is nearly as cranky during traveling as she has been all day I appologize to all of our fellow passengers!!! Wish us luck!!
