Before church, Sullivan and Quinn posed for their picture. In years past, I have always been a bit nervous about capturing a picture of the two of them together. Sullivan was at such an active stage that getting her to smile and stay still for more than a couple of seconds was impossible. This year, I got so many good pictures it was hard to choose just one! A sign that they are growing up way too fast!
We, minus my mom, went back to the Nana and Papa's house after church where we spent the evening enjoying each other's company and opening presents. It is a great way to spend the evening. And as usual, the girls got WAY more than they needed and asked for. And as usual, we were blessed that everyone wanted to and was able to provide a great Christmas for the girls (and for us)!
Quinn and Sullivan both loved all their gifts, but were super excited about their DreamLites (a pillow pet that lights up) and Stompeze (slippers). Sullivan is showing off her alligator Stompeze below.
Ryan's favorite gift?! The women's Vikings sweatshirt his mom bought for him!!!
(That's right - women's!)
Think that one is going to have to go back to the store!
It was so nice having GiGi here with us to celebrate. We typically don't get to see her for the holidays, so this was an extra special treat that she was here. Quinn and Sullivan enjoyed seeing her and spending time with her while she was here. They even spent a night with GiGi at her hotel last night. How many children can say that they were able to spend the evening and have a sleep over with their great-grandma?! We are so blessed that they are able to do so!
All in all, a very good Christmas Eve with the Pooleys.... more to come about our other Christmas festivities soon!
