Let it snow

Over the holiday break we took the girls sledding!  
They are in love!
I am not a huge fan of the snow and cold, but this was the perfect day.
It was so fun to see the girls be crazy and fearless.

Christmas #4 at the Martins

Our next stop was Grandma and Grandpa Martin's home.  We opened more gifts, ate a yummy dinner with more family and chatted and laughed some more.  

We are so blessed to have so much of our family live so close.
{We of course missed all the family that could not be there...LIKE CRAZY}

Fun new clothes from Aunt Rayne!

Rylie couldn't be more happy with her new Bingo game.
A new heart necklace.
Dru was SO excited to give Grandpa Martin her gift.
Rylie is exhausted and drops down for a quick nap.
Rylie got lost a couple times in this ADORABLE sweater.  The neck is huge but she does not seem to mind.
Awesome craft supplies from Aunt Ade.  Perfect!
It was so fun to have Adrienne hear from New York!  The girls adore her!!
Christmas #3 at the Fentons

Our next move on Christmas morning was a DELICIOUS Christmas breakfast at Grandma Kathy's and Grandpa Steve's house.  We ate, chatted, laughed, opened some more gifts and let the cousins play like crazy.

Christmas #2 with Grandpa Steve, Grandma Kathy and Kim.

With 6 kids and 13 grandchildren, Christmas at the Fentons can get a little crazy.  My parents tried something new this year.  They went to each child's home and hand delivered their gifts.  It was a brilliant idea.  The girls loved having G & G all to themselves!

Dru gave my mom a brownie mix and my dad got his own nutcraker.  They were cute and made a big deal about it.
Olivia got her own dog that really moves and barks.  She loves it.  
Dru got her very own wallet!
The girls also got a darling scrapbook to decorate.
Grandma and Dru with a new scarf.
Liv LOVES her wooden dolls!
My dad played a little trick on Rylie.  After Dru and Liv opened the presents, my dad showed Rylie the Santa bag was empty.  Rylie became SO sad that no gifts were for her.
Rylie hugging my mom while my dad ran to the car to get her gift.
Rylie looking out the window just to make sure.
Rylie ran back to my mom while my dad carried up her gift.
YAY!  Rylie got a big, red wagon!  She was so surprised and absolutely LOVED it!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!
Christmas Morning

The girls woke up Christmas morning a little after 8:00 a.m.  I hope they keep that as a tradition!  We decided to leave Rylie sleeping so we could just focus on the two oldest.  They girls laughed their way through all their gifts.

Dru got Little Women.  I had to explain to Ryan that Santa just knew with 4 girls in one house, this movie was a must.  I then told him the guy from Terminator Salvation was in it and he seemed to be ok.
Littlest Pet Shop is a house favorite!
This is a little note that Dru gave to Ry and I.  She did it all by herself!  I may have to frame this one!
Guess Who?  
The girls got an AWESOME tree house from Aunt Rayne with a million accessories.

Liv got a golf club....just like her dad.  (They are testing it out right now on the driving range)  Liv loves ANYTHING that her dad loves.
Taking a practice swing.

Then Rylie woke up!
This part was magical for me!  She hyperventilated over EVERYTHING she got!  It was pure joy watching her!

She of course got another baby!
She even went crazy over an old marker that Dru wrapped up for her.
Baby accessories.
This is Mrs. Potato head that I made for her with my friend Rachel.  I am so glad she liked it because it took 5 hours too long!
