First of all, this year we definitely had a WHITE Christmas! This is a picture of our deck.
Grandma and Grandpa Sadler made it from North Dakota even in the snow. :) We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Erntson's house. We had snacks and played Tripoley until it was time to open presents.

I was really excited to see how Esme would do when it was time to open presents.
Last year she was a
little lot too young to really get Christmas. This year, I thought she would go crazy with the presents. Not so much!
She really inspected her first present.
And she was very happy once she opened it. But then, she easily could have been done! She just wanted to play with her doll.
I think we should have started early and just had her open one present each day rather than all of them at once. I think she was a little confused at all the action. Her other favorite present was a penguin pillow. No real GREAT pictures of that one, but she did and still does love that penguin!
Annika and Laurel had a good Christmas too.
Annika got a Justin Bieber poster that she was super excited and equally embarrassed about. She was very excited to have it, but got all giggly and shy when we teased her about it. :) And of course, we promised to tease her about it often!
At the end of the evening Esme was tired! Normally bed time is 7:30 and we didn't even start opening presents until 8:30. She is such a good little girl though, she was fabulous the whole night. On the way home, she fell asleep in the car with baby.
Merry Christmas to you Esme! And to all a good night.
