Merry Christmas 2009

We had a fabulous Christmas this year! It's getting so much fun because Aubrey really understood things better this year...and not just Santa Claus. It was great talking to her about Jesus being born and what a nativity is. She had her own Little People nativity in her room this year and she just loved it. Don't get me wrong, she loved Santa Claus too, but what kid wouldn't love a mysterious man that's bringing her gifts in the middle of the night!

Aubrey actually sat on Santa's lap this year for the first time (well, the first time without crying). Anna was not so willing, so our Santa picture has me in it again this year holding Anna. She wasn't about to sit on Santa's lap! Alexandra did ok. I thought she might decide to flex her lungs, but she was more curious than anything.

We enjoyed Christmas Eve services at church and all three girls got to go into big church. They did good, but I was thankful YaYa and Tom were there to help out!

Once we got home from church, we enjoyed a nice lasagna dinner thanks to YaYa and cooked our cookies for Santa.

The girls had a blast on Christmas morning. We only opened one present at a time and played with each toy before opening the next. I love this age when any present at all excites Aubrey! I hope she will always have this appreciation for gifts given to her no matter how big or small.

Santa came to see the Britt girls!

The first thing the girls did was play with the piano that Santa brought. Santa actually got this piano free from a friend of Aunt Serena's!

Aubrey loves her Little Mermaid! She literally plays with Ariel everyday. In the bathtub and out of the bathtub. I think this Ariel has the cleanest hair ever because Aubrey is constantly wanting to wash her hair!

Santa also brought the girls a bean bag to sit on while they watch movies in their playroom. I'm not really sure what kind of look Anna's has going on in this picture!


Rock star Aubrey!

And she's a singer too!


Anna loved the stroller Santa brought her. She literally pushed it around for 30 minutes or so before opening another present!

This reaction was over a princess night gown. After she opened it she screamed, "It's one just like Lydia's!"

Anna likes her new vacuum! I'm thinking Santa should have brought her a real vacuum so she could really help mommy out!


Aubrey decided to try out all of her new toys at once. She's definitely going to be a musician. she can play the piano, guitar, sing and talk on the phone all at one time!

For the past couple of Christmas', we've (Danny) has had a project for the girls playroom. Last year he built their playhouse bookshelf and this year he built a tree for the playroom. All imitations of Pottery Barn, but larger and cheaper!!!

The girls had a good time helping Daddy get ready for the tree project!

The girls always LOVE playing in the garage when Daddy is out there working!

Tada! Here's the new tree Daddy built for the playroom! Notice Aubrey's new princess nightgown that she wears EVERY night!

The playroom bookshelf and tree. We are so blessed to have a Daddy that is handy with a saw and hammer and can make us so many wonderful things! Now only if he had more time....
