Christmas was GREAT here! The girls all had super fun and Santa was good to everyone, as always. Emma & Ella got new suitcases, clothes and the Smartcycle. Taylor got a "play" laptop, Easy Bake oven, and clothes. They also each got their own Disney MP3 music/video players. MiMi was here late Christmas Eve and was able to spend Christmas morning with us which was the best gift of all. We are so HAPPY you were here with us MiMi!

The girls ripping into their gifts.
"The girls" with their new baby dolls. You can never have too many.
Santa and Mrs. Clause made a visit to the girls at the Sharpe Christmas. There had to be one family photo to get Ella to go anywhere near them. Taylor and Emma were happy to get their presents from Santa. Grandma & Grandpa Sharpe got us all tickets to see The High School Musical on Ice Tour in March. They are already counting the days.
Wow....I can't believe that Taylor is actually 7 years old....going on 13. We had a small party at the house with Nana, Grandpa Jim, Great Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Tammy and Uncle Tom, Hope, Calla and JT. Taylor chose sloppy joes, chips and cole slaw for her birthday dinner. We then enjoyed cake and ice cream. She got a Nintendo DS that she is very excited about.
Need I say more?!! Although, I don't know if more cookies got made or eaten. We made the reindeer cookies for Emma & Ella's preschool Christmas party, lots of decorated sugar cookies for home, peanut butter blossoms, ginger stars, almond bark pretzels and brownies for Taylor's school birthday treat.
Taylor got to enjoy lunch out and a day at Children's Wonderland for her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Sharpe complete with a visit to Santa as Ella waits patiently with Grandma.
Top L - R: Sydney, Sophia, Ms. Sheila, Ashlyn, Carli, Emma and Reagan at Emma & Ella's pre-school Christmas concert. No Ella.....? Well, she will not be in many of the coming photos. She has been in quite a mood lately and will not participate in many activities that she normally does like library story time, dance class, school functions, church sunday school, etc....We will hope that it is just a phase and she will soon join us again. We have been so proud of Emma for enjoying her many activities by herself.
