Those are Harper and Ava's new Build-A-Bears sitting in the chair, they just got them Thursday.
They had PlayDoh session #2 this morning after their bath, Auna supervised them. The yellow tub on the floor is what Rielee brought over and Harper's bear seems to be napping under the table...
Harper, Rielee and Ava were trying to talk the little guy into sharing more of the cereal in his snack cup.
When I took this picture, Ava was more fixated on the cupcakes that were on the table behind her and not at all interested in smiling for a picture with Mom. She had already sampled one of the cupcakes with Papa and knew how good they were!
Early morning games of Horton Hears A Who, Rielee won 2 games and I won one. She was so happy that Papa played along. 
Having opened gifts early the twins were experienced but still excited to open more.
They had a problem, both had new babies but only 1 new bottle! Ava is wearing both her and Harper's new tutus over her p.j.'s.
Papa and Luke putting the handle on the little trampoline we got them, the girls at first thought it was a little platform and were sitting on it with their babies. It didn't take them long to get the hang of it:
to wait for the rest of us before they could open their stockings. Once again, no big winners on the scratch off tickets in our stockings.
Rielee was very happy with her little jewelry armoire, she owns lots of jewelry and was anxious to get it home and fill it up.
Macee with a book on sports and Parker with his Legos. Macee curled up and fell asleep on the couch right after this.
he talked to Rielee for a long time and had Parker sit on his lap, then Macee reluctantly joined in for a picture. 
Parker was surprised and excited when he opened a "Rambo" style knife from Luke. Apparently, his Dad told Uncle Charb that this was an appropriate gift for an 11 year old. When I questioned Gabe about it, he reminded me that he had one when he was Parker's age, a memory I've apparently blocked.
Rielee wore her matching dress so they could all look alike. Rielee later played dress-up with the girls, putting one of her old princess dresses on them, they loved that. 
Thank goodness Auna came over to visit, she was a big help to me since Papa was out in the shop working. Our friend Taylor stopped by with presents for the kids. She got Rielee a cute dog purse, Parker a shirt and she made Ava and Harper both cute little aprons...
but they were more excited about the big candy canes that were in their bags. They just laughed and laughed when they saw them, and couldn't wait to get them open! 
Harper later posed for me in her apron.
They showed me how they play football with Dad on the Playstation.
They got out their soccer balls and cones and showed me how they kick their balls into the cones and knock them over. Harper was in charge of setting up the cones. 
Harper sat down in their little recliner so I went to pull out the footrest so she could recline but she quickly stopped me, saying "no, Ava do it!", and Ava did it, too. They also watched some Dora on TV, finally moving on from Caillou. Lexi and cousin Adrianna had Ava counting to 10 in Spanish, too. 
You know it is going to be a good day when you see smiles like these.
We met Kelly and Lexi at Luke's basketball game. Luke played a great game, scoring 10 points. I think Harper is probably making this face because she just passed gas...she was a very odoriferous girl the whole time we were there! 
Rielee joined in on the "Head shoulders knees and toes" song with the girls.
The girls spent time coloring, playing with PlayDoh, and frosting sugar cookies. We took a break and went over to visit Emmy and they played with Sam and Charlie. 
They really wanted to watch me cook dinner so I put a couple of chairs up to the counter and let them "stir-stir-stir" as Ava always says (everything in threes) the muffin batter. Harper had other plans though, and just started filling the cups on her own. 
It was a day of "owees" which started when Ava hurt her knee somehow in the morning, she said she tripped on her little chair, it didn't start hurting her until bathtime, after which she couldn't walk, and we heard "no walk" for the rest of the morning (I think she was just super tired). By afternoon and after their nap, she was better but she continued to need bandaids for this and that and by the end of the day I had 5 on my leg for one little scrape. Then she showed up with this one on her forehead, which made us laugh! I think bandaids are really just like stickers to them.
Harper's baby, all tucked in for bed. When the girls nap, Harper tucks in baby on the floor near them, along with some snacks. Tonight she put baby right by the pack n' play where she sleeps. She is quite the little Mommy. 
The girls practiced using scissors today during PlayDoh time. The both did a good job.
Ava had made a bunch of PlayDoh "wormies" that they cut up into little pieces. 
When we got home we wrapped presents so the tree would have something underneath it and wrapped the gifts for the dogs and got that package ready to send tomorrow.
They put a few ornaments on it and then proceeded to rearrange them throughout the day.
Rielee got her hair cut yesterday, she was feeling pretty special with her new bob.
A new napping arrangement today. For the longest time, I've been rocking Ava to sleep and then putting her on the bed, Papa rocked Harper and then we put her on the bed with Ava. Then it changed to me rocking both of them. Today they both bailed on me and went to rock with Papa, except they all slept for 3 hours in the chair. I had to wake them up so we had enough time to feed them before they went home. 
Papa took them back a little early today. Papa Mike was meeting him to get the girls and I guess there was a whole lot of happy squealing going on when the girls saw him. 
The kids were very hard workers.
We sold nearly all the bazaar things and a ton of garage sale items, raising over $600.
Rielee took a break to play with Jillian and drove the Jeep down and right into the shop, circled the table and then went down Robin and Dan's driveway, with Jillian chasing behind her. Then all of a sudden, Jillian came running back, yelling that Rielee had some problem and was crying. It turned out that her scarf got tangled in the wheel and was choking her a little before she figured out to stop the Jeep. She was pretty shook up by the ordeal. 
Tierney was doing the Walk n' Knock in the morning and Macee was taking the S.A.T., but they showed up to work afterwards. Auna was a trooper and worked the entire day.
Rielee and Jillian with Sophie, dressed in a sweater. 
She made one this morning while Laury and David were here visiting and gave it to David to take home. Ava has made a few also.
Ava and Parker
They were so happy to swing- "higher, higher!", it was chilly out though so it was a quick session.
playing with him, throwing his ball to him which he chased a couple of times but then lost interest. Harper showed him her little Doggy who turned up again over the weekend.
Parker with my new laptop, which was an early Christmas gift from Steve and the kids. It is so nice, and I was glad that Auna and Parker were around to had to show me how to use it!
He's still adjusting to his braces, last week he had several canker sores and was really hurting.
They tried to play with their turkeys before the glue was dry and Harper had to reattach her turkey's eye, she was very precise about it and did a good job.
