We all got slippers for our "Christmas Eve" Gifts!! Except Scott, he has 2 pairs and didn't need any so he got a ROBE instead. He keeps calling it an "old man" robe. Which it is totally not. It is a cool guy robe---if such a thing exists. :) 
Dodger got a new chew bone and new chew toy! We let him "open" his gift first on Christmas morning so that he would leave all the other new gifts alone. Worked like a charm! Dodger was so happy with his new stuff, he ignored all the other festivities quite nicely.
Aunt Karissa had our family's name for the "White's gift exchange" and she picked out these adorable Christmas Socks for the girls! They loved them! She also gave us a coupon for free babysitting!!---The best gift ever! :) Thanks Aunt Karissa.
Go Legs!! Cute, Fuzzy Socks!
Scott and I got the girls new gloves, hats, and scarves.
Whitney's, of course, had to be purple!
Scott and his new B-Ball shoes!!
Sam with her "Sister gift" from Whitney
Kenzie--ripping into the Christmas Carnage!
Whit with her purple bows from Santa! (Me, talking to Dodger in the background and trying to avoid the camera . . . hugely pregnant, wearing Scott's big T-shirt, with no make-up on is not something we need photos of . . . . :) (Oh, the vanity . . . )We had a wonderful Christmas together!! ON Christmas Eve day, we went over to my Mom's house a decorated ginger bread cookies----Becca and Nick came up and were able to be there, and so was Aunt Macie. They all helped the girls decorate their cookies, it was fun to see everyone's creativity. This year we made "Families" Everyone got to make a Mom, a Dad, a Brother, and a Sister. Too cute. After that we came home and has an easy dinner. We played games, and read the Christmas story out of the bible and sang Christmas hymns. Then we opened our Christmas Eve gifts. Then we had our snack of hot apple cider and chex mix and watched the cartoon version of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas." Then off to bed for all the girls . . .
The next morning Sam (of course, who else?) got us up at 7:15 A.M. Scott told her she was not allowed up before 7:00, she said she actually woke up twice before that once at 2 A.M. and once around 4:30 A.M. We then got Kenzie and Whit up and all went out to see what Santa brought! This year he brought Sam and Kenz each a DS Lite plus a game. He brought Whit a Leapster plus a game. It was a high-tec Christmas. The girls were thrilled!! And played with the video games ALL Christmas break!!! Scott also has played them a great deal. No surprise there. :) We had our traditional breakfast at Mom's and then we went to Diann's for dinner that afternoon. It was a busy and fun day!

It was fun to be with you guys for Christmas this year. The girls look adorable in their socks! And you look great pregnant, I don't know what you're talking about being huge. I love low-key holidays, that's how it should be so you can really enjoy it with your family.
Looks like Christmas was full of wonderful times this year. I love that Whit had her purple bows in the whole time...so adorable! Can't wait to see what a little White Boy will look like...so exciting!
It sounds like you guys had a WONDERFUL Christmas. So relaxing, so traditional. I'm so jealous! I really hope that this year we can have a much more traditional Christmas with less nephews being born at 2 in the am on Christmas morning and less running around and not doing anything traditional due to the added commotion.
I just got all warm and fuzzy thinking about all your family festivities and activities for Christmas. It really sounded AWESOME! I love the slippers, SO CUTE! Kyle agreed with Scott. That IS an old man robe but also that he IS an old man, so what’s the problem? I don’t think it looks abnormally old manish personally. It looks like any other robe to me!
What a fun Christmas! We wish we could’ve been there also. You guys are lucky you really can be there to celebrate with both sides of your family’s!
By the way I love the "Whitney-isms" you have posted on the side. She is HILARIOUS!
