Having our first Christmas with the two girls together was a little surreal - only 5 years ago we were celebrating alone with just the two of us and this year we were a family of 4. Lucy still has a hard time understanding the "let's take turns and do one gift at a time" and every gift that Leigh got turned into Lucy's right away. But, it was a sweet morning. Lucy is really into Sophia the First and Doc McStuffins so most of her gifts were one of the two - and lots of small things this year because they seem to be more entertaining the the big ones (like the untouched doll house from her bday). Leigh asked for a walk-on piano, bath bubble machine, a growth chart, some new toys - and Santa delivered! Joe is going to be ripped from his new Insanity workout videos. Joe knows me really well and went to Nordstrom to the active section and got me some workout clothes and I live in them/love them. After gifts and breakfast (homemade cinnamon rolls for those to question my cooking ambition), we went out for an early dinner with my parents and Kate to Ruth's Chris. Love the tradition of a restaurant dinner on Christmas! Couldn't have asked for a better day and the best part was that we left for a week in AZ the next morning!

Seriously - couldn't get one good pic of the girls together. Too much excitement to get either sitting still.
Brave!
My favorite - her growth chart :)
From Aunt Jill and Uncle Jake - best gift ever! It plays music and Lucy calls it her "tune car"
Lucy's microphone - Leigh likes to use it too!
