A few pictures from Christmas night after we webcam'ed with Mamaw and Papaw...we waited to open their box until we could have a visit on the webcam!

Talking to Mamaw!

Connor was excited about Christmas money...his piggy bank was low so now he's happy, will he spend it or save it?

And Amelia was so funny when she opened the "Little Mermaid" DVD...she said, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!"  She was excited!



And a beautiful Cinderella carriage and horse!  The carriage sings "bibbidi bobbidi boo" when it moves!  She loves it!   Thanks for all the presents Mamaw and Papaw!

VIDEO: "and my piano!"

VIDEO: Amelia's reaction to the first present this morning!

Family fun...we tried to find matching family pajamas with a German theme, but we could not find any. So the Lederhosen T-shirts, Dirndl T-shirts and kids aprons had to do for this year's family fun Christmas theme!




Christmas morning 2013! Pictures are out of order but hopefully you will get the idea...it was a great Christmas morning for the kids!

Connor with his new Star Wars Legos! 
Amelia was very excited about her new piano and micophone!


Star Wars figure...


With her Doc McStuffins doll and accessories!

An Ariel mermaid dress!!!

She had to try on the mermaid costume right away!

Giving Cinderella and Prince Charming a big hug!


And an Ariel doll too!

Our "Little Mermaid!"

Connor saw the commercial for this Ariel doll on German TV...so he was showing Amelia how it works!   It turns from a Mermaid into a human...it's actually really amazing!



And the trend of neither child smiling at the same time continues!



Connor wearing his scary jacket that Granny found for him...he was pretty excited about it and he wore it to the movies today...and said it was nice and warm too!   He said that the best part is that he doesn't have to smile for pictures when he wears this jacket!

And a new watch from Granny and Clyde!

Amelia opening her present while Granny was on the webcam...my pictures are out of order bc of complications uploading...but there's a picture of her telling time somewhere in this row of pictures!


Connor and Amelia both got matching lightsabers for their brother/sister battles!

Peekaboo...see Amelia through the window?

Amelia's number one request on her Christmas list...a pink castle!

From the Becker's...a new Princess Belle dress!

She loves all of her Doc McStuffins doctor bag accessories!





Star Wars was Connor's theme this year, pretty much everything he asked for was Star Wars related!  He knew right away which presents were his because they were wrapped in Star Wars wrapping paper!







Playing with his Star Wars 501st Clone Trooper figurine!

Flynn Rider to go with her Rapunzel doll!





Doc McStuffins!  One of our favorite shows on Disney Junior!



Wedding Cinderella and Prince Charming!

Ariel doll that turns from a mermaid into a human!



It was especially hard to get both kids to look and smile at the same time this morning! 








Lederhosen T-shirts!!!

Dirndl aprons for the girls and Lederhosen apron for Connor!

Dirndl T-shirts for the ladies!



Hand made in Germany...this Christmas Pyramid came from one of the Christmas markets and was one of Scott's Christmas presents!


This is another new Christmas Pyramid that I bought at Globus (local department store).  It was definitely not handcrafted in Germany but it was a really good value and it looks beautiful even if it's made in China ; )

New remote control helicopters for Daddy and Connor!
