3's Company: Christmas 2013

I woke up this morning at 7:45 and listened and Rachel was still asleep. My dad was up and went in around 7:55 to see if Rachel was going to wake up. He pretty much woke her up. We all went downstairs to see what Santa had brought for us. Rachel was so excited. We let her open all her Santa presents before anyone else even got to open anything.

She is waiting for everyone to come down so she could open what Santa brought.

Found some money in her stocking from Santa.

Opening the Santa gifts. She figured out this year how to unwrap presents and didn't like having to wait for others to open presents.

Santa brought a Cinderella Dress with accessories and a Sleeping Beauty dress with accessories.

Opening the next Santa Present.

An Umbrella (Yes it's Doc McStuffins)

and a new fishing pole. (We didn't find out until we were trying to get it working that it's actually broke and doesn't work. We are going to have to send it back to Santa's work shop for a new one.)

Opening her last Santa Gift.

A big girl necklace (Snow cone)

Scott got a Neat Receipt from Santa

I got the new open heart necklace from Santa.

My parents were here with us celebrating and they ended up getting Norman a little something.

He didn't like this sweater at all. He wouldn't come to anyone with it on. We laughed.

After we opened up all our presents we called Scott's parents on Facetime so that we could open our presents up in front of them. They gave me and Scott money in rolls of coins. Scott thought it was going to be bullets. We are going to go buy a smart thermostat with it.

We had an awesome Christmas and everyone loved their gifts.

I wished I had gotten a picture of my parents opening up their presents because it was priceless. We ended up buying them a garbage disposal. We had my mom open up the electrical cords and she was just like "Okay what am I supposed to do with this." We then had my dad open up the disposal and they were like okay that makes sense now. It was so funny.

We hung out for awhile looking through our presents and then ate ome breakfast. I made a breakfast casserole that was okay. I wouldn't say it was the best. We then decided we should go to the movie Frozen at the new Cinema at the Village. So we got showered and ready to go. We ended up just snacking on stuff for lunch. We opened up the turkey sausage and had cheese and crackers with it. We headed out to the Village and got there 20 minutes early. We waited in line and then they showed us that they have assigned seating and the only row available was the front row. Mom said she couldn't sit that close so we decided not to spend the money to go to it. We headed out to the square of the Village

Totally disappointed that we couldn't see what the new movie theatre looked like. :-(

This is the tree that is in the square there at the Village. Totally gorgeous. I decided to check the times for Frozen at the theatre closer to our house and then mom had me call them to see if there were seats and the guy said they had lots of seats for all the Frozen times. So we hurried to get in the car and headed to the theatre. We got there with time to spare.

Grandpa Hobbs, Grandma Hobbs, Rachel & Scott. Yes our daughter is in a pair of PJ's. She loves her sleeper PJ's and wanted to wear them so I was like okay whatever. The movie was awesome. Such a great movie and one we will have to own. After the movie we headed home and had a full Christmas dinner of Ham, Turkey, Mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, stuffing, gravy, rolls, veggies. When we finished eating we cleaned up and then played Rachel's new games with her.
