Merry Christmas!

Last year was such a fun Christmas because Adeline understood and enjoyed opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This year was even more special because she understood the concept of Santa, loved everything about Christmas, and we got to celebrate in our very own home! Adeline took her time with the gifts. Playing with, and enjoying each one. Christmas lasted all morning! We also got to call all of our family, too. Some highlights of the presents were My Little Ponies, a tool set, tape player and books on tape, "hamdriver" set from Auntie Mere and Uncle David, garden set, basketball hoop, "Radar" the dog, poka dot Christmas sweater.






























We had lasagna for dinner.


And ended the night with snuggles while we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Though I missed having my "break" to do things like shower, eat, ya know, no big deal, I reminded myself that someday in the not-so-distant future I'll be longing for these days of holding her in my arms while she sleeps. So, we enjoyed a very slow paced day around the house filled with snuggles. In between the rocking chair naps we did get in a little fun playtime though!

The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B
