I'm procrastinating putting the decorations away and still eating leftovers, not quite ready to kiss the holiday good-bye. It was a good one. Magical, to say the least. A & L's excitement and anticipation had me awake at 5:30 on Christmas Day. I lived my best holiday through them. A great benefit of being a mom, I guess. We had visitors and gifts and I'll surely rank their favorites on a later blog when I see which span the test of some time. I'll get to my thank-you notes, clean the fridge and edit some pictures, slowly ticking off the to-do list. However, my biggest hope is that the feelings revisit my heart and theirs again before next December.
The tree-taken at about 6:30 a.m.--just before the girls walked down!
Letter to Santa--written verbatim--gotta love the potty reminder!
Evidence that he had come and gone and taken that silly Elf on the Shelf with him!
Bedtime stories with dad!
Holiday walk in the snow with Uncle Joe
Christmas Eve before church--Daddy post-lasik! It's still weird seeing him without glasses! (Lilly, on the other hand looks like she might need them :-)
Picture from the Ash grandparents holiday card!
Picture from the Sadler holiday card (yes, A & L graced 3 holiday cards in 2010-we are really trying NOT to let the popularity get to their heads!)
Humbled to host this crew at our home for dinner every year! We feel the love!

The girls really do make the holidays special, don't they. Glad you didn't have to cancel Christmas after all! Happy New Year to the Ash's from the Phellehers!
Great pictures Aimee! I love the elf on a shelf, otherwise known as Bubba Fiji:) Thanks so much for an amazing holiday! I cannot wait to come back and hang out with Addy and Lilly at the Indy airport.
