And the winner is...

Cody was the proud winner of the annual ugly sweater contest.  After seeing the prize (some very yummy chocolate bars), I wished that I would have brought my ugly sweater. 
We made the round-robin trip to see our families this year.  We started out at Grandma Terrell's house where the rest of the family joined us.  The girls had some excellent cousin bonding time.
 At one point the girls decided to put their swimsuits on and run around the house - not sure why exactly.  Kendall snagged Cousin AshLee's boots and tried them on for size.
 
Aunt Lisa brought the girls some very awesome winter hats. 
Daddy thought it best that he try them on as well.
Grandma T. and Ashlee stole the mustaches from the Ugly Sweater contest and had a little fun.
After a yummy dinner of Ludafisk and Potato Sausage (okay, I only eat the Potato Sausage, so I can truly use the word "yummy") it was time to open the presents.  The girls were SO much fun this year.  They anticipated every minute leading up to the big event. 
 This picture of paper flying and mass chaos just about sums it up.
After a short night of sleep, it was off to Grandma Karen and Papa Mark's house for Christmas morning.  The girls received this awesome white convertible.  During the first spin (inside the house - only at Grandma's house) in which Kendall crashed her and Sid into the stairs, Sidney would not get back in the car with her sister.  She would only get in the car when Kendall was a safe distance away.

With the exception of this one present, Sidney took each of her presents one by one to the car and sat in the car to open them. 

Of course, what would be a trip to Grandma and Papa's without dress up, dance and barbies?
Dylan made us all an amazing breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon. 
We had a great Christmas and though it went to fast, we are so grateful to have made the trip to spend it with our families!
