Christmas Day

I had so much fun on Christmas morning this year. Nora actually got it, which was so awesome and fun! She was excited for Santa to come. We did have to wake her up on Christmas morning, she is our little sleeper. I am sure that not going to bed until 11:30 had something to do with it, but once she was up she was excited. We checked the cookie plate to make sure that Santa ate the cookies we left him. Then we found our stockings that he had hidden. Santa gifts are in red and green tissue paper at our house, so she was excited to get into them. I got the best picture of her opening her Little Mermaid set that Santa brought her. She was so excited that he listened and brought her Ariel's daddy, flounder and sebastian! We gave her Dinosaur Train stuff, which she loves as well! She is playing with it as I am typing this. The dinosaurs and little mermaid toys all play together, it is pretty fun to listen to her imagination take over! I was pretty lucky this year as well. We got a new family camera, a nikon coolpix! It is neat and Peter did a great job picking it out. I also got an Ipod touch!

She was so excited she got band aids in her stocking! Seriously?!

1st Christmas

Reaction to the Little Mermaid set!

I think she likes it!

 We celebrated Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa the week before. They came in to town for the weekend. We are all totally spoiled rotten! Nora loves her new Barbie car that aunt candace and uncle tim gave her and the new Barbie grandma gave her. She also got some more things to go with her bitty baby, Stella. 

 We had a nice relaxing morning to play with our toys and talk to Grandma and Grandpa via skype. We headed to my mom's house around 2:30. Holy moly you should have seen her living room! It was packed with presents. We were all really good this year. It took us forever to open all of the gifts. I think Nora's favorite gift from there was her Barbie dorm room house and the remote control strawberry shortcake car. My mom made homemade mac and cheese, which was really good and we had good sandwiches and appetizers. My mom got the game logos for christmas and we played that which was fun.

Overall, we had an excellent Christmas.

We are so blessed.
