This is what we hear from Mary Ellen about every 30 minutes these days! She keeps asking if it is Christmas time, yet! We had Christmas presents under the tree from Nene and Pops, and she would ask over and over if it was Christmas time yet, meaning she wanted to open them. We decided that we would have this Christmas on Friday night. It is very hard to have a 2 year old look at wrapped presents and not want to open them. Therefore, there will be no more presents under the tree until she wakes up on Christmas morning! It was a lot of fun seeing her open the presents, because she really got into it and was throwing the paper everywhere. The neat thing was that she was so excited about everything and very grateful. With the first present she opened, she looked at it and said, "It is exactly what I wanted!" I hope that she always keeps the appreciative spirit that she has. She loves opening presents, but it is so great to see how excited she is to see what it has inside. She has been playing with everything and enjoyed it all.
Mary Ellen also gets excited about wearing Christmas clothes. This morning was Charlotte's first trip to church, so of course, they both had to be in Christmas outfits that coordinated! Mary Ellen loved seeing that Charlotte had Santa on her dress just like her. She also liked that they both had bows.
Mary Ellen always wants to help burp Charlotte, and this just turned into a great picture with Charlotte half-way dressed!
Last year, Mary Ellen had to have her picture taken by every tree. Well, the tradition has begun again, and we had to do it with the pics of both girls! Mary Ellen is such a sweet big sis!
My Sweet Girls!
We also made some Christmas cookies today. These were the simple ones that are already done that I let Mary Ellen add sprinkles too! She is so excited and proud of her work! (And in case you were wondering, pants have become optional in our house. When Mary Ellen takes a nap, she doesn't like to sleep in them, and then the afternoon goes on without them ever being put back on!)
And finally, in case you were wondering, M&Ms don't just melt in your mouth!
