A family picture before we open presents.
Ready to see what's in their stockings...
Digging in...
We gave the kids a new basketball goal. Brian put it up a few weeks ago, so the kids could start enjoying it early. I'm so glad he did, because the weather the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas was really nice. And the weather from Christmas day until the start of school has and is supposed to be freezing cold! Caden putting the net up.
Caden only wanted games and books for Christmas, but Annabelle really wanted an American Girl Doll. Grandpa gave her one. Here she is starting to open the present. From the shape of the box, both kids had guessed this present was the doll, despite my efforts to convince them otherwise.
She was so excited to have matching pj's. I went to a name blog, and gave Annabelle about 8-10 names to chose from. She chose Violet; then she wanted her to have a "J" middle initial, so her monogram would be VJJ, since her's is AJJ. Meet the newest addition to our family, Violet Jane Jolly :).
Safety first! Violet buckled in for her first car trip over to Mimi's house. We also gave Annabelle a puppy for her doll. Annabelle named Violet's dog, Snowball.
Midday we headed over to Mimi and Tia's house. A picture with the Jolly cousins.
We can't forget to include Violet!
A family picture.
Annabelle's present from Mimi and Tia was a "Perfect Pet". She really wants a dog, but this is as good as she's getting at this point.
Wesley meeting Annabelle's new "dog".
Wyatt got a hover board for Christmas. Caden had fun giving it a try.
It's been so cold here. Some indoor fun...making slime!
Later in the week, we headed to Collin Creek Mall for more indoor fun. Annabelle bouncing on the bungee trampoline.
And Caden flying high!
The kids also rode these mechanical animals around. They had a blast!
There's also glow in the dark mini golf there. The kids lined up before their round of golf.
