Now my Christmas cards and list all got packed so when I find them I will send them. We had a wonderful Christmas here. Travis rolled out some of the living room carpet so the kids could open gifts up on some carpet rather than sub floor. Brayden quickly got the idea of how to open gifts. He was pretty good at waiting for his own gifts which surprised me. He also only took a handful of ornaments off the tree. He mainly enjoyed looking at his reflection in them. Though I am confident he was distracted by the new house and what he could get into.
Becca loved her dollhouse and "dog". This is the kind of dog I like it has an "off" button. She loved decorating the tree and talking about their nativity. She hasn't learned to recognize her name yet so she had to rely on Marisa to find her gifts. She was the first up that morning but decided to go back to bed. Apparently it was too early for Becca to wake up (7am).
Marisa thought it was great that she could read everyone's name. She was proud to be in charge of handing out gifts. All she wanted from Santa was a Barbie dress. Marisa started opening her boxes and began crying. This confused Travis and I because they were new Barbie dolls and cars and such. Then she was making comments about Santa forgetting her. We quickly realized what was going on. She had not opened her dress up yet. Since Marisa wouldn't let us suggest any box to open we consoled her as much as possible. The very last gift she opened was the dress by then she was completely upset and just ripping into her presents not know what was in side. When Marisa opened her dress she screamed and started dancing around the room with it. After calming down she had to ask which gifts were hers.
Our Christmas was very memorable.
