Christmas!

What a Wonderful Christmas!

Jon, Rory and myself had such a wonderful Christmas!  On Christmas Eve, we went to the park, it was a little cool out so we didn't stay too long, but Rory needs to get all of her energy out: so all three of us went to a park near our house.

I think Rory knew something was up, she only napped 45 min all day!

At night we decorated cookies, Rory had her cookie, but was just picking handfuls of icing off and eating them!  Rory is such a healthy girl, she never has a lot of sugar, so my homemade icing must have been like cocaine!  She loved it and was crying when we put the cookie decorating stuff away!

Rory went to sleep and we waited for Santa to come.  It was so much fun "waiting" for Santa!  I could not believe how excited I was!

Rory's big present was her tent- I knew she would love it!  (Smudge tried it out first...)

On Christmas morning- I was like a kid again- I kept looking at the clock and wondered if time was going to go by any faster.  It was complete torture waiting for her to wake up- and of course it was the one day where she wasn't up at or before 7!

It was amazing to see her face- she ran right in the tent and was playing in the tube as if she had done it a million times before!  It was so neat to see her actually open her presents too- last year she didn't open them because she was just a baby.

It was a small Christmas- she got her tent, some cookware and plastic fruit and veggies- and LOVED her presents!  Her aunts spoiled her rotten too,

Peppers!

 We are very fortunate to have such lucky friends out here in Virginia Beach, our good Friends invited us over with their family on Christmas dinner!  There was good food, good friends, presents, and a lot of smiles.  It was a great ending to a great day!
