Christmas day was so exciting at our house! Mary Ellen had been asking about it for weeks, so when we told her on Christmas Eve that when she woke up, it would be Christmas day, she was so excited. She did actually sleep in on Christmas, which was a shock, but she was ready to go when she woke up. When I walked into her room and said, "Merry Christmas," she came running towards me and was immediately ready to see what the day held!
Here is what Santa brought the girls. Charlotte didn't quite have as much, but she wasn't too interested in her toys anyway. I am sure that she will enjoy it with time!
Checking out her stocking:
Trying out her new tricycle:
Trying out her new laptop, or as she calls it her field journal (This is something from Diego!):
Showing Charlotte one of her new toys:
Mary Ellen loves her new Dora mic. That morning, she went all around the house, singing and dancing, and it continues:
Once we had opened presents at our house, we went over to Caki and Bo's house for brunch, presents, and dinner. It was a fun-filled day with a lot of excitement. Mary Ellen was very patient in waiting to open presents. We open them one at a time, and she did really good about it. We did let her jump ahead and open all of her presents towards the end, so she could take a nap!
Charlotte with Granny:
Daddy and Mary Ellen ringing their bells:
When Mary Ellen opened one of her presents, another one was brought in for her. It was an easel. As you can see she was so excited to see it!
Trying out the easel:
Modeling her new raincoat and rain boots:
And once the festivities died down, Daddy and Charlotte taking a nap!
Charlotte slept through much of the day, so we didn't get many pictures of her. In years to come, we will have many more pictures to share of her having fun at Christmas!
