On Christmas Eve morning, Spiffer and Granddaddy came over to have some fun, quality time sharing some chocolate, peanut butter croissants and exchanging our presents for each other. HG hadn’t slept much at all the night before and was super cranky, so it wasn’t worth the battle to get her dressed. At least she had had a shower!
{Side story: At one point over the last few days, I said to her, “Ok, grouchy pants.” She patted her thighs and responded, “No, Mommy, my pants are right here!}
So, back to Christmas Eve morning…she was so excited about the doll house/bookshelf and Melissa & Doug cookie set that Spiffer and Granddaddy gave her. The bookshelf is now in her room, and she gets so excited about it every time she walks in there. She was very particular about where the little doll furniture and people were placed.
“What’s that??”
On Christmas Eve night, we headed to Grandma’s to spend the evening opening gifts in front of the fireplace. She loved handing out presents and playing with all the packing supplies (from Aunt Kathryn’s box) and wrapping paper. She was tickled pink about her raincoat and slippers, and she is so excited about this upcoming semester of Little Gym with Grandma and Peggy. Our evening was cut a little short when she started rubbing her eyes and then wanting some milk and to sit on the couch- her universal sign for ‘Get me to bed NOW.’ She fell asleep in the car on the way home around 7:00, but we woke her up to get medicine in her and she was out again by 7:45. I threw in the towel when she woke up for the second time at 9:30, and I took my pillow upstairs and climbed in bed with her. I could have sworn that I heard reindeer on the roof during the night!
