Christmas 2010

Christmas was amazing this year. We did several things that will be traditional in our family, and it was so special to see Adelaide respond. She was so excited about everything, and loved every minute of it. I am going to write a different post about our Nativity Scene, because I think that was one of the best parts, but here is a picture from the night before Christmas when the 3 wise men finally made it to the Stable, so everyone was there except for the baby. We were all waiting for Christmas morning when he could be added to the party. Next Adelaide put out cookies for Santa, and an apple for Rudolph. I told her to put them somewhere that Santa would see them, and she decided right on the chair would be good. Here she is in her new jammies that she got to open earlier in the evening.

Then we read The Night Before Christmas (for the 100th time this month). Adelaide really loves this book, especially because her Granny got her a beautiful book with cut outs and pop ups!

Here is Adelaide's stocking all full.
And all of the gifts for her waiting under the tree.
First open - Toy Story!
A bunch of books from her Great Grandmother Eileen! She loved them and sat and looked through EVERY SINGLE ONE before doing anything else. She really LOVES books.
Another beautiful book from Aunt Jamie
Granny and Grandpa Jerry got her a frog towel which she wore for quite some time.
