Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2013

A few pictures of our first Christmas in Wisconsin.  These are pics of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day here.  After we get back from Indiana I'll post pics of our celebrations there.



 The girls in their beautiful dresses at church on Christmas Eve.  They are so fun to dress up!  The participated in the service by singing "Star Light, Star Bright" and "Away in A Manger" with all the other kids.


 Even though it was late by the time we got home from church and had some supper, we decided to let the girls open their stocking stuffers and one gift each from under the tree before bed.


 Reindeer socks.


 Eva got snowman socks.


 Pocket ponies and trading cards.


 Their gifts from under the tree were magazine subscriptions.  National Geographic Kids for Lena and National Geographic Little Kids for Eva.


 Lena being goofy.


 Christmas Day at church.







 Time to open the rest of the gifts!


 What could be inside these tiny little bags?


 Pretty My Little Pony necklaces!  They were so excited!  Lena got Pinkie Pie.


 And Eva got Twilight Sparkle.


 They had a lot of shared gifts and did a good job of opening them together.


 A new nightgown for Lena with a horsey on it.


 Eva got a penguin nightgown with a matching one for her dolly.


 More horsey clothes for Lena.


 And some unicorn shirts.


 Cute hoodie.


 Eva's first My Little Pony shirt.


 My Little Pony walkie-talkies!  


 Ten minutes to wrap, ten seconds to unwrap.


 New drawing pads and a box of 120 crayons.


 And several new books.  Eva also got some Scholastic books.


 Lena also got a box of 12 Biscuit books for practicing reading her short vowel words.


 Some new duds for Eva's hand-me-down Barbie that she loves.


And a fun game.  My Little Pony Memory.

It's always so much fun watching the girls open their gifts.  Can't wait to do it some more this weekend in Indiana!

Merry Christmas from the Roemkes!
