After all the fun festivities on Christmas Eve we came home to get ready for Santa to come early Christmas Morning. As soon as we got home, Jayci put on her pajamas and we read the book that my dad had recorded for her and put her in bed. She kept telling me that we had to go to bed too so Santa would come. So of course I said we would be going to bed really soon and she was pretty satisfied with that answered.
At our house Santa does not wrap his presents. I don’t really know why but I figure it has something to do with the fact that he (or she) is tired of wrapping presents and this is just the easy way out. Anyway, here is a picture of all the Santa stuff with the exception of Lucy’s (the dog) stocking. I brought it out that night and she went CRAZY for all the new toys so I had to put it up until after I put her in her kennel.
On to Christmas Morning…I am one that gets SO excited about Christmas. Not just about my presents either more about seeing Jayci wake up and her reaction. Therefore, I woke up at about 4:45 (mainly to use the bathroom) but then I couldn’t go back to sleep. Then about 5:15 Jay woke up and we just laid in bed talking and eventually I got up and got us something to eat. Well we both started falling back asleep about 7 or so and of course Jayci came running in our room about 7:30. It was funny because she did not even stop to look in the living room to see if Santa had came. She came to us asking and telling us that she didn’t hear him or his sleigh bells. While, she was in our room we had her just crawl in bed with us and read the story of Jesus' birth out of her “Jesus Storybook Bible” (which we love). We started this tradition last year but I think I like the idea of snuggling a little bit before rushing to see what Santa brought, especially this year since she didn’t even realize stuff was out there.
Anyway, here is a video of her coming out of our room. You have to excuse the mess behind her. The night before we had just dumped all the stuff on the couch. Also, I’m not sure why she was crawling but she’s kind of goofy like that.
She was excited about all of her presents but she kept saying well this wasn’t on my list. I tried to just tell her that Santa thought she might would want it.
Here she is with the almost impossible gift Santa had to find. A care bear! Who knew these would be so hard? Luckily some great people from church had some from when there 20 something children were small that they were willing to get rid of. She loves them!
Silly bands!
Santa must have been crazy to bring bubble gum! At least it’s sugar free. :) And a small princess flashlight that could not be passed up.
Some cute purses that had jewelry in them. And a tea set that we picked up when we were on vacation for our anniversary. We’ve already had a tea party!
Just my girl looking so cute after I made her put in a head band to get the hair out of her face!
V-Reader that is great. She loves playing it in the car.
All new dress up! That means we got to get rid of all of her old dress up! While doing that yesterday I went ahead and moved her playroom out of what will be the babies room and into the guest room!
Jay opening his Blue-Ray player.
My cute rain boots. My husband did good. I didn’t even really ask for these for Christmas but he remembered me asking for them throughout the year!
HOUSE SHOES!!
Blue-ray player and the movie “Eclipse” that I may or may not have wrapped for Jayci. HA!
BARBIE TIME!!!
After we finished with our Christmas morning stuff we got ready and went to my grandmas. I didn’t even take my camera out of the car. It gets a little crowded so I just left it. Just know we had a good time!
Then we went to the in-laws house to celebrate with Jay’s parents and siblings and kids. It is a fun time and very relaxing!
After dinner it was present time. Here is Jayci and cousin K digging in.
Little Ms. B very sleepy by this time but she is still so cute and sweet!
B and her mommy Cori.
And my oh so goofy husband and E unwrapping his present.
We did go to one more place the day after Christmas but again I didn’t take my camera. We had such a good Christmas and are very blessed. I cannot wait until next year and all the future years when we have two kids to wake us up and to celebrate with. Okay well this is the last of my Christmas posts. The next post will hopefully be announcing the gender and name of “Peanut!”
