Lucky us. We get to celebrate Christmas 3 times this year! We decided that instead of packing all of our Christmas gifts to each other (Paul, Jill and Kate) and traveling with them, we'd have a little Christmas celebration at home before we left. It felt like the real day (so much that I almost missed my doctor's appointment. Who has doctor's appointments on Christmas?) and was a lot of fun to watch Kate open her presents.
She was really excited to open her presents and I expected her to tear through them. Instead she would open one, get excited and want to play with it right then. So she'd have to pause and spend 20 minutes playing with the new toy (like her crayons in the picture below) and then decide she was ready to open another one when she was finished. The whole process probably took 4 hours and she didn't even have that many presents! It was a nice way to spend a relaxing morning.
Christmas has been a lot more exciting now that Kate is starting to understand what it's all about. She has loved seeing all the lights, listening to "Frosty", looking at the Christmas tree and presents and playing with her little baby Jesus in the nativity set. Children is magical for kids and I'm excited for all the Christmas' to come!
