Christmas 2013

We have a great Christmas. I loved being home and celebrating . We went to Christmas Eve service at church and Amelia loved it. They really focused on the kids and made it fun for them! Amelia enjoyed singing all the songs while standing up on the chair.  They even handed out glow sticks for the kids instead of candles. 

 

We went to the 6pm service. Amelia didn't nap and fell to sleep in the car on the way home. 

I was hoping for an early bedtime but not that early! We had to wake her up to set out cookies and sprinkle the reindeer 

food! 

After a bath and stories she was ready for bed. 

She need a bedtime snack as well 

Shortly after she was sleeping Santa came for a visit! He left some great gifts! Rollers Skates with safety gear, a train table, and clip-clop horse stable and  we set out the gifts we bought them. 

Everything she wanted a more. 

She was pretty happy about all of her new stuff :) 

Aliza got a couple of toys as well, but it is hard to buy toys for a 8 week old!  Aliza gave a pretty sweet giggle when she saw her snail toy from Amelia. 

We played with new toys and I made a big lunch. We had the Coopers over later to eat and exchange gifts.  We were all still feeling sick but we enjoyed the day.  

We got to Skype with our families so it helped being away from them a bit better. Amelia liked showing off her new toys to everyone.
