We didn't really talk with her much about Santa, because we thought she wouldn't understand. Boy, were we wrong. One day, she saw a Santa on tv and said, "Santa! Ho,ho,ho!" . We have no idea where she picked it up from but it was so adorable. We tried to visit him at the mall and waited in that long long line. As soon as we got up there she freaked out and we didn't end up getting a picture with him. Sad days!
We had our ward Christmas party & they had a cute photo booth there. That had to serve as our "Santa" picture for the year.
On Christmas Eve, we wanted to start some new traditions. We had a random dinner on the floor in front of a movie. Our dinner consisted of some of our favorite appetizers. Some of them we bought and some we made. We LOVED it and it's for sure a keeper.
Then we made cookies for Santa. I procrastinated and the only frosting left at the store was pink with pink sprinkles. Luckily Mckinlie was too young to notice or care. She sat on the counter and did awesome at spreading frosting on the cookies, and oh, eating them too.
She always eats like this. I'm not sure where she got this from. We try to get her to use her fork, but it was
too cute this time.
I don't have many pictures of opening gifts but she got a cute doll set that has a pack-n-play, car seat, highchair, bouncer, etc. She loves it! She also got a little people car, pillow pet, clothes, etc. Her most favorite thing that morning was the cartons of goldfish snacks in her stocking. She had all of these new toys all around her and she just wanted to be left alone to eat her goldfish. She did get a wagon from Grandma & Grandpa and she was in heaven. She pulled it around the house all day with the dog and her dolls in it. She so badly wanted Kennedi to get in, too. She was so devastated that it had to go into the crawlspace and be put away that night. We can't wait to use it this next summer. Kennedi will be 1 and old enough to sit up in it. We can't wait!
Kennedi just hung around mostly. We didn't think she would be too into it this year, but she LOVED looking at everything. She got an exersaucer and it's been so nice. My arms get tired from holding her up because she loves to stand 24/7.
It was so much fun celebrating with the kids this year and will be even more fun next year when they are older!
