I basically loved that Christmas was on Sunday this year. It meant that we got to go sing songs and read scriptures about Jesus and THEN do presents. It was very nice. We did let Lilah open her stocking before church, not that she really cared, but we did :)
 |
| She was very amazed by the whole thing! |
 |
| All decked out |
So then we went to church and Mom did a fantastic job leading the choir and it was all very beautiful. Afterwards, we came home and had some yummy french toast casserole for brunch.
 |
| This is my happy Christmas brunch dance |
The only problem with this plan was then it was Lilah's naptime. So we decided to let Lilah open all her presents first and she was happy with that :)
 |
| The tree! |
 |
| Little cutie didn't even know what was coming :) |
 |
| She opened her pillow pet first, put it in her shopping cart, and ran off. We had to tell her there was more! |
 |
| She had to wear everything she got, including the bib |
 |
| Being very patient... :) |
 |
| Happy grandma! |
 |
| Jewelry heaven... thanks Grandma Sandy! |
 |
| She loves soft things! |
 |
| She finally got the hang of opening... |
 |
| So excited about Mar and Dave's gift (a castle) that she had to dance on the box! |
 |
| Just a little bit bored... |
 |
| Our big gift for Lilah... her first little dollhouse |
So then the rest of us got to open our gifts, finally :) It was a pretty small Christmas, but a nice one!
 |
| Haha, Scotty's face |
 |
| James gave me a pretty ring! (not an engagement ring) |
 |
| She loves twizzlers! |
 |
| Still awake, but sweet |
 |
| James' big present from me. It's a Van Gogh and it reminded me of the two of us. |
Thank you to everyone for the super kind and generous gifts! We felt loved and I hope everyone else did too!
