Christmas

So our Christmas this year was a little different. Travis couldn't get to Kansas before Christmas and actually ended up flying in on Christmas day. So we had Christmas evening instead of morning. The girls aren't old enough to know better so it was pretty easy until they got home from the airport and Brigitte saw all the presents. She didn't want to eat first she just wanted her presents...
 

Of course we started off with reading from the Bible the Christmas story and used the play Nativity to keep Brigitte interested.

 So on the manger where the angel sits you push it down and it plays Away in a Manger. Well that is Violet's favorite thing to do so she wasn't interested until the angel came out! This is also when Brigitte learned that the angel's name is the same as daddy's. Now when she plays with it she calls the angel "Angel Gabriel Dauphin" not really sure why she stuck in Dauphin but she does!

Presents

 Violet didn't care about opening any presents. All she wanted to do was "take pictures."

Violet getting mad for taking the camera away....and Travis opening his awesome bag I made him!

 

Violet opening her tickle me Minnie Mouse 

Violet was really enjoying all her presents. She has 4 favorite things, Minnie Mouse, Thomas the Train, babies, and buttons. She got all of that. This is the car that GG got her and it has all kids of buttons on it that play music and she is trying to open the Thomas that Uncle Travis got her. The car is the ONLY toy she doesn't like Brigitte to play with! She is very possessive of it. All of her other presents she shares with her sister. She also got a baby that she loves to give her a bottle but I guess we didn't get a picture of that.

 

Brigitte was just the opposite of her sister. All she wanted to do was open the gifts and didn't care what was inside...

Her two favorite were her princess castle and piano.

 She did get pretty excited when she saw her piano though.

I finally have a sewing machine that does more than stich a straight line! I don't even know where to start! It has 70 different stiches and can actually sew on a button!
