Christmas LOOT

Lacie getting in the Christmas spirit (or really desperate for some loving..not sure which) and cozying up to Caitlin for the first time ever.

Plan was for nana and grandpa to come over to open gifts, but Caitlin could not wait, so she got to pick ONE gift to open first, and she picked this gorgeous tutu, which she immediately put on and wore for the rest of the day. (sorry we did not get pictures of all the gifts)


Caitlin got this apron and spatula and put it on over her tutu--she looked like a kitchen fairy.

Breakfast with nana and grandpa

New pizza making kit
And, the finale was a new kitchen that daddy put together on Christmas Eve (THANK YOU, JOHN!), so as Caitlin came down the stairs, I was all set with the camera and captured the most gleeful picture as she first laid eyes on her new kitchen.  it was really great to see her so excited.
And she proceeded to play for about 3 hours with it, pretty much non-stop--we had to peel her off of it at nap time (which never actually happened...the nap, i mean)

Thanks to our wonderful friends and family for being so generous with Caitlin's gifts, as usual.  We tried our hardest to play up the Jesus's birthday-part of Christmas, and she got that, to some extent, but I think when you are two-going-on-three, it's really about the gifts.
