Normally, this family of Snellings sleep in on Christmas morning, but that was not the case today. (Thanks Erin!) The original plan was to wait and open our presents after the guys leave tonight, but the girls did not like that idea at all.
Since it is Christmas (and we were awake anyway) we caved and told them once they were up and the teeth were brushed they could open their gifts. Never have they been so enthusiastic about oral hygiene.
We were a bit lacking in the Christmas decorations, and Erin took it upon herself to make sure this Christmas was not tree-less. This year, our decor involved 5 bottles of paint and 3 brushes and while we were out one evening, Erin painted the tree. Putting the tree up - and probably taking the tree down - is much quicker and cleaner this way!
After fulfilling all the necessary requirements (and being bent into submission for some transgression), the girls finally got to open their presents. Meghan got a skirt, a notebook of Korean paper and Korean Celadon chopstick rests for her Hope Chest. Erin received a pair of slacks, the notebook and a horse sculpture. 
Now that presents are opened, the girls are getting ready to head towards Camp Casey and make sure today's guests can find the apartment. As soon as they leave, we are taking a nap!
