We Survived!

We made it through the twins first Christmas!  Esme and Chan were very excited for Christmas this year and obviously Poppy and Eve had no idea what was going on.  Esme was into giving out gifts that she picked out which was fun to watch.  It was so hard for her to keep some of the gifts a secret over the past few weeks!  Chan was a little more crazy and just into opening and opening and more opening.  And once he ran out of gifts he sort of ran out of steam.  Now that it's all over though he's enjoying all that he got.  We've barely touched Poppy and Eve's gifts since there was enough excitement otherwise.  We'll get there slowly but surely...

All suited up and waiting to open gifts.  Chan asked for a skateboard for Christmas this year.  Hopefully Uncle Sterling will teach him how to ride it soon.  He also got knee and elbow pads which he calls his "bleeders."

This was the best pic we got before attacking the presents.

Poppy and Eve trying on their new dresses.  Thanks Nana and Papa!

Bloomers on their heads :)

The big kids wearing their new pj's.  Chan skipped nap on Christmas day so they were all in bed by 6:45pm that night!

Esme's choice of outfit for our day after Christmas hike at Bird Park.

Chan taking care of his baby doll that he also asked for Christmas.

Esme had her first kids race - WHS winter fun run. She ran/walked a mile with her preschool friend Aliya.

Chan's so happy he has a new audience.  Poppy and Eve crawl over to wherever he's at and just sit and watch for as long as he's busy usually.  Now he's starting to see how fun these two "baby sisters" can be for him :)
