Christmas Eve at Peachtree Presbyterian

Holley Girls come up for the FUN

American Girl Dolls and a Kindle I think Santa came!
This is the last pic I think I'll post about Christmas 2011! Caroline is terrified of the remote control helipcopter, Dave looks at me like help, while John and EK aspire to pilot this adorable and fun gift. MERRY CHRISTMAS you guys!

Christmas Dinner Davie Style!

The chef taking a quick break!
Pecan Tarts for desert....like mini pecan pies. They are so delicious and one of Mega's ( Dave's Grandmother's) recipes

Dave roasted a prime cut of beef for Christmas Dinner for about 5 hours at 200 degrees in the oven. It was delicious. He made a homemade AuJus and a horseradish sauce for dipping and served it with mashed potatoes and a beautiful strawberry, pecan, and bleu cheese salad. Topped with a homemade poppy dressing.

Papa was anxiously awaiting the BEEFJust a pretty salad

Caroline attempting to do the one thing no ever does...brush GayGay's hair.That's better angel from heaven...let's brush Julie's hair!

So excited to show the Grandparents what Santa brought

Facial Expression=Priceless on Christmas Morning

This is when she realized Santa CAME!!!!!
And I love the above pic SO MUCH! She was so shocked!!! She didn't know what to do so....I guess I'll stick my tongue out Mommy!!!!!!!!!! And I'll keep it out because I can't believe it!

Body language says it all here too--little hands behind her back!! So precious. She was afraid to touch anything at first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is killer too-she would look at her stuff, look at me, and then look at Daddy who was filming. I have so many where she is looking at him as if too say...." Is this real Daddy?"

Shocked!

At Daddy again!

This is just TOO MUCH Mommy! I gotta rest!!!!!!!!!

Ok-let's start opening!

FaceTime is a Beautiful thing!!!!!!!!!!!! Papa, GaGa and Nana were able to call us all the way from West Palm. And we able to see her little face!

She got an American Girl Doll-Julie and matching Bitty Baby PJ's that we quickly had to wear!!

And of course, Santa did a remarkable stocking full of goodies including her favorites stickers and band-aids....because her babies have booboos all the time!!!

Christmas morning was so magical at our house this year. We really enjoyed it and for the first time in years were able to experience it through the eyes of a child. Magical and memorable it indeed!!

Thank you God for sending your son...that was the BEST gift ever!!! Joy Joy Joy!

Mom's Birthday!

The Holley's Christmas Tree

December birthdays are tough. We celebrated Mom's birthday the day before we did the family Christmas. None the less making 59 years very special!!! We love you Mom and appreciate so much all you do for the family.

Dressing up is just part of being a kid. It took Caroline no less than 10 minutes at the Holley house to find and dress in this dance attire. EK is wearing Robin's prom dress! And Taylor well she is just being a Lady!

The girls were also dying to open at least one gift. Caroline was thrilled with Hiho Cherrio!

Christmas in T-town

Thanks GayGay and PaPa for all the fun! And Aunt Robin and Uncle John

GayGay and Papa got an IPAD...now what to do with it?

This little face sums up the entire weekend!

Emma Kate was fascinated with the IPADColoring with her bestie, Taylor

And cruising with the JEEP! Thanks GAYGAY

Taylor LOVED her JEEP too!

Emma Kate liked whatever that thing is called:)

Taylor and Caroline play so well together!!! Holding and getting ready to tear in to all their gifts!!!

I love the above picture because it shows lil Caroline watching her cousin. She could barely open her things for watching EK's reaction to her presents!!!

Thanks for my dress up stuff GayGay!
