Christmas

Christmas is magical with a baby/a child of your own. Greg and I didn't exchange gifts this year so it was really all about Emma!

Christmas Eve: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' was read in front of a roaring fireplace and cookies and milk were placed on the mantle for Santa. Emma decided to try the gingerbread cookies to make sure they were good enough for Santa.

 Christmas: Emma got up her normal time of around 7:30. I nursed her upstairs and we went downstairs to see what Santa had brought. Not much of a reaction from Emma about opening the presents. Probably because she gets toys from us all the time. Emma did enjoy the bows but didn't really open up the presents. I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed that Emma wasn't as excited as I was. We had a nice, laid-back morning and afternoon of relaxation. At G/G Wassel's, Emma was about the same with opening presents. She did enjoy the dog's toys, probably because of the squeakers.
