Christmas Day

By -
I think this was the first year the girls were not up first.

Sean got out of bed around 7 am.

I woke up around 730 am (because Sean brought me coffee).

I stayed in bed and did my therapy for my broken collar bone and sipped my coffee.

Finally, around 8 am, the girls woke up.

I peeked out the window and it looks like we got about 6 inches of snow.

After Autumn got her coffee, we started to open presents.



One last picture before the madness.


Trying to get a picture of Dingo (Autumn is holding a pig ear in her hand).


Opening of the presents begins. Autumn received a scarf and $25 Roblux from Emelia.


Sean opening his beard kit from Emelia.


Emelia is trying to show me her lip gloss.


Autumn guessed this gift was a Rubick's cube- she was right.


Emelia excited to get some scrunchies.


Autumn got the same ones!


Lip gloss from Autumn.


Millie's favorite thing... money!


Making it rain.


Sean opening one of Dingo's treats. Can you tell Dingo is excited?


Millie's Pegasus book.


Dingo snacking away.


Smart watch!


She was really excited about this one!


Autumn got a lot of clothes. She was happy for clothes.


A new coffee cup.


Autumn got lip gloss too!


Millie's desk lamp. It will charge her phone and has night light settings.


Autumn and Pistachio.


I got silverware!!!!


Sean with his new boots.

On her desk under her bed and Millie wearing her new scarf.


My snow shoes!!! Cannot wait to try those out.


Millie sipping on her starbucks hot cocoa with her starbuck cookie straws.


Autumn already on her electronics.

After opening all the gifts, Sean headed outside to shovel.


He made really quick work of it!


While I watched from the window....


My backyard.


There is a lot of pretty snow.

Sean and I had made up our minds yesterday that we were going to take the girls back to the waterfalls.

Here is our day in pictures.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
