Christmas 2009...

This Christmas we had a lot to be grateful for we had a new daughter and most of our family were able to be near us.  Evie was finally at the age that she was excited for Christmas trees, Santa, and even giving gifts.  We got our tree two weeks before Christmas didn't really put anything under it.  When Christmas Eve came we let Evie open one present ( ok maybe two! )  We read The Night Before Christmas and put out cookies and milk for Santa. Evie was very excited and hated going to bed.

Christmas morning we had a family breakfast planned with good food and lots of presents.  It was a beautiful morning and Evie slept in till about 8:30 am.  I was shocked she didn't bound out of bed and head downstairs to start tearing open presents.  When she did get down she was more interested in passing things out then opening her own, and she had a ton!!

After breakfast and presents we started getting ready for the rest of our day.  We had dinner planned at my moms house about 2pm.  We headed over there and again opened more presents, I was just amazed at how patient Evie was with passing out presents and waiting to open her own.  I hope she stays that way it was very sweet!  After presents we had an amazing dinner and played some Pictionary.  Pete and I kicked some major behind and took out moms down.  All in all a very nice Christmas!  On to New Years....
