Christmas Morning

Who doesn't love Christmas morning? Abigail was of course a little clueless. Alyssa on the other had, was very excited. Last year was fun, but we were excited to see how much more Alyssa would understand what was going on this year. We had a great time with the girls.

Here is Alyssa sharing her excitement with Abigail.

Prior to present time, Alyssa takes one last survey of her forthcoming gifts.

This is one of Abigail's presents, and one that I was very excited about. I didn't realize when I bought it that it has some squeaky parts. Hence, Sophia's uncanny interest. Anytime I get it out for Abigail, I have to quarantine Sophia.

This is Santa's present for Alyssa. We kind of prefer wooden toys to electronic. But alas, Alyssa is too smart. She recognized the Ikea logo on the packaging. I'm not quite sure how that will affect her belief in Santa, but she is convinced (and rightly so) that her train set came from Ikea.

Abigail and Alyssa are enjoying Abigail's present. Sophia is quarantined on the other side of the gate.

This turned out to be a favorite gift. Alyssa loves the legos from Grandma and Grandpa.

I decided to get Alyssa some simple musical instruments/rhythm tools for us to play with together. Here she is enjoying her "jingle bell stick".

Here is another present from Santa. Alyssa recognized it as coming from Babies R' Us, which she calls the "baby store". I guess we have to do better with Santa gifts next year!
