Very merry Christmas, part 3

Finally, on to Christmas Morning!!
The grandparents and four granddaughters in matching pjs. (Do you know how hard it is to get all four to look at the camera at the same time, let alone smile? Well at least Elsie was having a grand time!)

The wonderful craziness of little girls opening stockings - what fun! Lots of little hair bows and stuffed animals and checking out each other's goodies. Gemma did her best to wear a hair bow (which lasted about 3 minutes). Oh well, she will get there soon enough.

And majorly yummy breakfast with cinnamon rolls (J&J's), Noah's egg-bacon rouladen, chicken sausages and coffee. Whoops forgot to get a family pic of that one. It was then a rush to get dressed and out the door for the Christmas morning church service. But we made it on time (and none of the girls cried in the nursery). Lovely service too.
Hmm, Gemma, which is your favorite ornament? Do tell.
Elsie with her Christmas doll! Of course she had to poke and finger the face, with her classic tongue-out concentration.
A little dress-up for Gemma, in the same pink wool dress that her Nonna wore for a portrait at 15 months!! The dress has been beautifully kept.
