We had a fantastic Christmas! Brielle and Dean gave each other 'big Mickey' and 'big Minnie' (Brielle has been playing with the 'big Mickey' I gave her for her 2nd birthday daily for two years and considering he was already 25 years old--it was mine when I was little--he is showing some 'wear') Brielle saw these at the Disney store and begged me to let her give it to Dean for Christmas. She was SO excited for him to open it...Dean liked it but moved on quickly-as you can see!
Dean loves to push around Brielle's stroller---so Santa brought him a boy stroller!
'The Doll house' that Brielle asked Santa for---she wanted a big one so Dean would not sit on her or knock it over to get to it (like he did with her Barbie apartment).
Chris wanted basketball shoes for Christmas--I searched high and low for the perfect 'it' shoe and decided both boys needed the new "Lebron's"! I'm so proud of this present because this was the best gift reaction I have ever gotten from Chris--he'd never seen the shoe (b/c it is impossible to find) and he said it was the coolest basketball shoe he'd ever seen!
Dean has pink dribble down the front of him because the first thing he did when we came out to open presents was grab a candy cane and try to eat it through the wrapper...which resulted in a dirty shirt (and if you know me...it gave me serious anxiety the rest of the day...b/c he had to wear his matching Jammie's with Brielle!) I gave this little rascal his own bowls and measuring spoons because he is always stealing mine and I had to get new ones because only he knows where the old ones are!
Jasmine & Superman!
Dean started to get in to opening presents...he's figured it out a lot earlier then Brielle did...maybe because he can see (by watching her) that it is exciting & fun! Brielle got the cutest red dress from her Grandma & Grandpa Rueckert which she wore to church on Sunday, but I forgot to take a picture! She kept telling me "pretend that I'm holiday Cinderella at Disneyland and you want him to take a picture with me!" It was adorable!
After we opened presents at home--we went over to my parents for round 2! I told my sis that Brielle liked the 'Fancy Nancy' books...so she put together a bunch of 'fancy' stuff for her...she 'bedazzled' a bag that says 'Miss Brielle's Fancy Bag' and it was full of boa's, jewelry, gloves etc...and she made this adorable little hat that Brielle has been wearing ever since! Nat is wearing the 'fancy Happy Birthday' crown I got her! Poor Christmas birthday girl...I'm sorry you have to share your day with all of us!

Chris got this hat from Nat & Ty...but Dean thought he looked way better in it! It was so cute because he kept showing my dad that he had a hat too!
Brielle got a fancy Cinderella dress to keep at Nana's house (since we spend so much time there!)
And for the grand finale...
