*CHRISTMAS 2011*

The girls slept in more than usual and woke up at 7:50. We convinced them to snuggle in and sleep some more in our bed until we were ready to head down. They were so excited to see their stockings and presents. However, during it, Maren just seemed tired. Sure enough, once the presents were done she climbed on the couch and snuggled up with dad and took a nap. Once she woke up, she got into her presents a little bit. Of course Alexa had fun playing all morning with her new presents. Aunt Rachel came by and took Alexa with her to Grandpa and Grandma Burhans' since Maren was still sick. It turned out to be a good call that we stayed home, because Maren ended up being sick again and I ended up getting sick too later that day.

Finding the presents.













Poor sick Maren.

Maren missed to from going to grandma and grandpa Burhans' house, but enjoyed opening up presents from them when she felt a little better. Aunt Rachel brought them back for her when she dropped Alexa off.
