Christmas

I got a new camera for Christmas (I opened it Christmas Eve so I could use it on Christmas). This is one of the first pictures that Matt took while trying it out. I'm still getting used to it- I've had my other one for 6 years and I loved it!

We had Christmas Eve dinner at Oma's.

Rylee and Ashlyn were the only kids who wanted to be in the Christmas story (Isaiah and Gabriel were there too but didn't want to participate). So Rylee got to be Mary and Ashlyn was Joseph who turned into an angel. Ashlyn really wanted to hold the baby, but Rylee kept telling her not to touch baby Jesus. I have some funny pictures of them fighting over the baby, but I just posted the nice one.

Dumping out the stockings.

Rylee wants to be a "doctor dog" (vet) when she grows up, so Santa brought her this dog that you can take care of like a vet. It comes with doctor stuff and it barks and whimpers.
I'm glad Santa didn't bring her a real dog to take care of!!

Ashlyn was just happy with opening presents!
She didn't really know what was going on, but she liked it!

Opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Santa brought the girls this doll stuff. Grandma gave Ashlyn this doll which she would not put down most of the day. She was so cute to watch with it- so sweet!

Rylee got a Lalaloopsy too.

Oma and Opa gave the girls these blankets- Ashlyn got the princess one and Rylee got the dog one, but they traded. I guess they'll just share them.

We had a great Christmas and hope that you all did too.
