Townsend Christmas 2011

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. It was small and pretty quiet. We got a package from Grandma and Grandpa in Utah and a package from Jeff, Julie, Zach, and Colton. The kids were so happy to hear from them all. They loved their gifts (even though they're looking kinda weird in the pictures). I didn't get any pictures of what they got from Zach and Colton in the hustle and bustle of opening gifts. William got legos that we had to build almost immediately and Lily got a pony and lip gloss, her two favorite things.
On Christmas Eve, we relaxed for a good part of the day and enjoyed being together. But, then came the night. The kids fed the reindeer:

 They even saw Rudolph's nose in Grandma and Grandpa's yard.

 William and Lily got to open their new pajamas. I love this picture. Lily's smile is just so sweet to me! It didn't take them too long to get to sleep in order to get up a little after six in the morning.
 There was the traditional stair picture where everyone looks sleepy. But, their little faces sure do change when they see what Santa left them. William got his ever-important Leapster and Lily got her horse that she's been pining over. They were pretty happy.
Then they opened their other gifts from mom and dad:

I feel bad that I didn't get any pictures of them opening presents from their cousins. William got a marshmallow gun from Presley and Lily got a Hello Kitty purse, necklace, and chapstick from Savannah. William's been playing with the train tracks Grandma and Grandpa (TN) got for him and Lily has loved her new Rapunzel with Flynn and Maximus. They've pretty much been in heaven between their new things and having their cousins here.
Christmas has been great this year! We're sad that it's over, but looking forward to the New Year coming soon!
