We finally put the last ornament on our Advent Tree! Christmas came! This Christmas is just "what I'm talking about!" (The phrase of the day for every gift I opened Christmas morning). It was only that way because everything leading up to it was wonderfully fun!
On Christmas Eve, we continued some of my very favorite family traditions! Daddy assembled our gingerbread house in the morning in preparation for us to decorate it! I liked putting shingles on the roof and adding Hershey Kiss bushes all around the house. It was really hot outside so as soon as we finished the house, it had to live in the refrigerator where it felt a little more like winter. We relaxed a bit before we were allowed to open one of our family exchange gifts from Mommy and Daddy.
The present opening started early and I got a new pair of comfy socks!
Then it was time to get dressed for Christmas Eve Mass, no warm comfy socks needed because it was WARM! I was very quiet and well behaved at Mass, trying to take everything in and understand why we celebrate Christmas. After church we came home and ate our traditional dinner of speatzel soup, followed by a ride to see Christmas lights in our neighborhood. At last we were home and it was time to sing Christmas carols and open more exchange gifts! I was so excited to see that Cora got me Spiderman walkie talkies - it was just what I was talking about! I liked to tell her that I loved her using my walkie talkie. We were allowed to play with our new gifts a little past our bedtime until it was time to set out milk and cookies for Santa! Cora wrote a note to him and I signed it. Hopefully Santa would enjoy him when he came to visit us that night!
Visit us Santa did! Upon walking down the steps Christmas morning, after sleeping in til 7:45, we were greeted by so many things from Santa! I got a ride-on digger, Mater guitar, airplanes, a sleeping bag, puzzle, flashlight and Batman winter hat! The coolest thing was a train that he set up around the Christmas tree! I learned how to turn it on and use the remote to drive it around the tree. You could also turn on the sound to hear the whistle and chugging noise of the train! Oh what fun!! When I wasn't driving the train or riding my digger we were talking on the computer to all our family.
We talked to Grammie and Gramps followed by Uncle Mike, Aunt Sandy, Kaitlyn and Lauren. We opened our presents with Grammie and Gramps and one of my gifts was my very own blanket that Grammie made for me! After lunch we saw Mimi, Papa, Uncle Marcus, and Aunt Tracie. We proceeded to open more presents, the ones from them. It was fun how we got to open a little bit at a time. I got a cool crane truck from Mimi and Papa and was running around in a sponge pirate hat that Uncle Marcus got me! When dinner came, it was so hard to sit down and eat because all I wanted to do was play. I didn't realize though, how exhausted I really was and luckily we had cookies and watched our new movie Paddington to relax and finish a wonderful Christmas day!
