Christmas Eve and Morning

This is the first year we really talked about Santa Claus. She liked the idea of him but didn't like to see him in person. Before she went to bed we set out cookies and milk so Santa could have some when he came. She was so excited and talked about it for the rest of the night.

Christmas morning she was so excited to find out if Santa ate his cookies and milk. She thought that was pretty cool that they were gone.

We had a great Christmas. Taylyn had a lot of fun opening her gifts and wanted everything opened up so she could play with them. She had actually opened up two of them two nights before but she was still excited to open them again.

She always helps me when I am cleaning so Santa brought her a cleaning set. She vacuumed and swept before she opened anything else. She was very intense and careful opening the gifts.I made Cody a Daddy Daughter picture frame and then made Taylyn a book using the same pictures. We got her a doll set so she could take care of her own baby once we have the baby. She got on her high heels, which she also got for Christmas, put her baby in the stroller and said that she was ready to go.

She also got dishes and we have meals a lot during the day. She makes noodles, rice, olives and tomatoes with chocolate milk that we have to eat at least 4 times a day.

After opening all her presents we went over to Cody's parents house to open gifts and eat breakfast. Taylyn got some more gifts and broke them all out and made everyone play with her. Cody and Tony have always wanted onsies pajama's but have never been able to find them. Maile found some on-line and then had their names put on them. On the back she had the words caution put on the butt-flap. I think it was their favorite gift.Nana and Taylyn opening a gift together. Linda had to help her with all of them. She also had fun handing gifts to everyone else. She was quite the little helper, even with the clean-up part.
