Helen Grace woke up at 4:30 a.m. on Christmas morning wanting to open presents, but I somehow got her to sleep until 6:30; however, by that point, she only wanted to sit on the couch and have more milk and wouldn’t even let me change her clothes. She didn’t want to have anything to do with opening presents. Lawdy! Finally, an hour or so later, she caught sight of the gifts around the tree and decided to investigate. She was super excited about the train, fire truck, Melissa & Doug ice cream set, and cash register. Now she can *really* play Gracie Bleu! She also got a doll high chair, the Leap Frog Tag Jr. reader and books, and a giraffe pillow pet. She has played with her gifts endlessly and really seems to be enjoying them. I keep trying to move them upstairs to her play room, but they slowly seem to reappear downstairs in the den…
While John went on to mass at 10:00, we all decided it was best for HG and me to stay at home with her not being in the best mood. We snuggled on the couch and watched Brian Boitano’s skating special and cartoons. So glad my girl loves some ice skating!
During HG’s *short* nap, Granddaddy and Spiffer arrived to help us get ready for the Christmas evening soiree at our house! More to come about that in the next post.
