Merry Christmas!

We have had so much fun being in Houston. I'll post plenty of pictures soon, but for now here are pics from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Garden State Smiths are back in Texas!

Natalie got way more into opening presents this year than she did last year. Which I guess isn't saying a whole lot since she was totally clueless last year...but she really enjoyed it now that she's older! She got some sparkly red shoes (ruby slippers, of course) and wouldn't take them off for the rest of the night or next day.

Mousie helped Natalie open some of her gifts. A baby! A girl can never have too many dolls.

And a mixer so she can cook like mommy!

It was so fun having 3 little girls together on Christmas Eve! Emma (2 years & 8 months) in the blue dress, Indie (1 year & 4 months) with the curly hair, and Natalie (1 year & 10 months) sitting in Indie's new chair.

The little girls laid in bed and watched Sleeping Beauty together.

And by the end of the night, Natalie was worn out!

Good morning! It's Christmas! This is the lovely new "realistic" smile I get when I take out the camera now.

We opened presents at Mousie and Pop's house...

...and played with new toys for a while before heading to Mamaw and Papa's.

Natalie got some sweet new glasses in her stocking at Mamaw and Papa's...

...and she wasn't seen without them for the rest of the day!

Jillian got a scooter from Santa, and everyone took their turn riding it...

(Notice the glasses still firmly clutched in her fist.)

Who doesn't love scoring some deals during the after-Christmas sales?

Merry Christmas!!
