Christmas 2012 started with a BANG! By bang I actually mean lots of vomiting and sick children. In the middle of the night/early hours of the 24th Gabby and Natalie started down the dreaded Stomach Bug course puking every hour for over 6 hours. Rick spent the middle of the night cleaning up vomit and washing the sheets and several clothes all because he wanted to keep me and my pregnant self away from the vomit. He was hoping I wouldn't get sick. Little did he know I would be sick on Christmas Day! :) Fortunately the stomach bug only lasted 24 hours and the girls were good to go come the evening of the 24th. They two older girls were anticipating Santa, but Henley was not sure about all the commotion. The next couple of years will be full of excitement as they get old enough to understand. This is our last Christmas as a family of 5 and last with only girls!! Next Christmas we will get to add some blue to the mix with the addition of Zachary!!! The girls were allowed to open one of the presents from MomMom and DadDad on Christmas Eve as she made them some soft fleece blankets and after the stomach bug we thought it would be fun to cuddle up with soft blankets while anticipating the arrival of Santa.

Henley knows when to pose for the Camera.
Natalie was the first to get hers open.

Sheer excitement on Gabby's face.
Santa brought Henley a bitty baby set and baby stroller (MomMom and DadDad provided the mega blocks but I didn't have a box to fit them so they got set out with the other presents!! SORRY MOM)
Gabby wanted these specific princess dresses and shoes to match. Santa couldn't help but oblige.
Natalie scored the best with her own ipad. Now before you think I spent that much money on her, think differently. We were able to get an old broken Ipad fixed for the same cost spent the other girls!! Thats bargain shopping!!
Not really sure about all the commotion
