This past weekend was spent with the hubs' family for Christmas.
We had the best weekend.
My SIL was in town from college and spent hours playing Barbie's with Lillian.
I think that was the highlight for Lillian the whole weekend.
She could play Barbie's forever and be happy.
While they played barbie's, the rest of us played Farkle and Rummy.
Saturday we opened gifts.Lillian and Alexa both received the CUTEST headbands.
They sure compliment their fashionista personalities.
Very stylish!
Lillian also got the lady bug pillow pet from her Grandpa Juan.
She loves it as much as her sister loves her Bumble Bee pillow pet.
Don't be jeal of Adam's custom made cutting board! :)

Oh yeah, if you hadn't noticed, they also got some dress up make up.

By the end of the weekend I think they each had about 8-10 layers of polish on their fingernails.
