Merry Christmas To All...

We had such a great Christmas! It really was everything I had always imagined Christmas to be with two little kids-tearing through present after present, sheer joy on their faces when they see what's inside (then tossing it aside and asking where their NEXT present is-or just grabbing what's close to them and opening that one), running around the room to show everyone what they got, and CRASHING so hard at the end of the day that they're still asleep at 9 this morning so I have time to blog! I have tons of pictures, of course, so I'll let them tell the story.
Playing a little golf at Bass Pro. This boy loves his sports! We did this last week but I haven't had time to post it so we're throwing it in with everything else!
At Bass Pro-it was a new addition to our Christmas Activities List this year and it was so fun!
Maggie get your gun!
GG went with us and we had a great time!

Will was driving the remote control car and Maggie thought she'd help give it a little push!



Writing their list down for Santa

Putting their letters in Santa's mail boxes
Hoping a big hug would help Santa remember his ever growing list!




Maggie is very into trains this year-Bass Pro had some really neat displays up


After the Live Nativity at our Church, all Maggie was interested in was checking out Baby Jesus
Throwing reindeer food out on the lawn the night before Christmas
Waiting outside Uncle Scotty's house to see what Santa had brought


Maggie in her cottage
Will's list grew and grew-the bike was the original request, then a jaguar, then kitty cat, then I lost track. Then there became a new Mittig family rule about how many presents Santa can remember.

Someone forgot to tell Maggie the wheely ball isn't a chair!









I get a lot of comments on how the kids always seem to get along so well, so I wanted to make sure our blog is a little more true to life-they love each other and really are the best of friends, but toys are toys and it's not always fun to share!



















Maggie learning to walk in high heels





Maggie is very into makeup after Molly introduced her to it this week. There have been many, many makeovers! Molly wanted to do some eye makeup so she told Mags to close her eyes...






Now it's time for some pretty nails


A little bottle for Baby


A little bottle for Maggie



Learning early that reading the instructions makes things easier



More Diego stuff! Thanks Aunt Manda!


Will giving Maggie the Build a Bear/Rabbit he made her-Cotton Candy







Maggie's first candy necklace. Thankfully it broke right after this picture was taken and she never figured it out!


Will discovered Diego a few weeks ago-which turned out to be very good timing for gift giving this year. And yes, he has to pee. We actually had to force him to go yesterday because he didn't want to stop opening!







Maggie and Santa's gift to her-she ran straight for the babydoll and hardly paid attention to the little cottage she got-but once she figured it out, that was one happy girl!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Hopefully we'll do the Texan, Six Flags, and Prairie Lights this week so check back for more pics!

What a great Christmas you seemed to have, and how awesome Santa was to your much deserving family! First-major compliments on the cuteness of Maggie's outfits and head gear! Love them! Second, I appreciate the true love pic of them fighting over the toy. And third, I just saw the one about the kittens, so cute, and what a great gift. I know your kids will love that little kitty! You are such a great mommy summer. Love keeping up with your fam!
