Christmas Eve Happenings

We had a very low key few days leading up to Christmas Eve. 

  Sara had a nasty virus the week before and was wheezing, so we were doing breathing treatments....thankfully we were able to return the breathing machine on Christmas Day!

 

 

We made a Happy Birthday, Jesus cake on Sunday for dessert on Christmas Eve.  Sara loves stirring and pouring!  She had even more fun "helping" frost the cake!

I had to work Christmas Eve, so we decided just to stay home and not drive anywhere.  We relaxed on the sofa with hot apple cider for Sara and adult beverages for mommy and daddy!

 

 Sara loved drinking out of her special mug.  We had chili for dinner and then opened presents!  This was really the first year that Sara really enjoyed her presents.  She kept saying "presents...presents".  She was excited!

 New PJs from Grammie and Grandpa Kenny

 

 Daddy helping open her new Little People Zoo. 

 

Play time!

 Figuring out how to put it together...

 

 Sidetracked by the box....she played with the paper and boxes and had to be pulled away to open her other gifts.  We do 3 gifts on Christmas Eve....Something to wear, Something Wanted, and Something Needed.  This year, her "wanted" was the Little People Zoo.  She needed jeans and got several new dresses to wear.

 Happy Girl!

 

 Cake Time....yummy!

 

Yep...this picture sums it up.  We had lots of snuggle time with our most precious gift ever. 

Such an emotional Christmas....so much bad going on in the world....but so much good too!
