Christmas Day 2007

The girls didn't get to bed until 9:30 on Christmas Eve, so at 7:45 when Emma had not come downstairs yet, I woke her up! The first thing she said when she came into the den was, "I knew I wanted that train!" She looked at everything real quick, then immediately wanted her stocking, and wanted to see what was in everyone else's, too.

Santa Claus was a little mixed up when he put the dollhouse together.


I am sure Santa worked very hard to assemble the train, but as you can see in the picture, it was disassembled in a hurry. Shelby stands by the remnants. Here is every den in America:




I love this picture, it shows how "grabby" Libby is and that she wants everything Emma has! Check out the little fingers coming from her green sleeve.

This is sweet sweet Libby with a maraca, moments before the famous Emma-meltdown-over-the-drum incident. To make the story short, I ended up carrying Emma to the car while she was shoeless, crying and screaming for her drum.
