Sooooo, Christmas Happened

Some holidays take a few days to fully consume you. Christmas officialy ended yesterday when Yuula finally and painstakingly ripped into her final gift-wrapped package, one inch at a time. It was pink inside. As was most of it. I do not know what has happened to my life.

 This was as close as we could come to a white Christmas, and we'll take it

 The ceremonies began promptly at 9am

 We started at the stockings

 Her new big-girl bed was not an immediate hit, but after about 5 minutes she fell in love and cannot wait to go to bed every night since

 Even Hello Kitty can't make socks an exciting gift

Tinkerbell helped open every gift

Her kitchen was a highlight. She took right to making some French toast. She is my daughter. But then we couldn't get her back to the unwrapping... she just kept saying "No thank you. Cooking."

This playpads was another pause in the action, for me at least. Yuula and her mother seemed to think this was a good time to work off some Christmas cookies.

After about 4 hours she began to tire

Good thing her new bed was only a few feet away

At the start of the second session she opened up her new baby and immediately fed her and put her to sleep

and then practiced some doguitar poses

Does every girl love to dress up?

Now Laura wants to join a bowling league

A momentary break in the action

 Laura and I exchanged gifts too

 Christmas bliss

 yes

 wubbawees

thoroughly exhausted from too much joy

Now every morning she asks "Christmas coming?"

We say "Yes, in 360 days"
