Christmas morning finally arrived! We had a very blessed Christmas this year! We had many family get togethers on both sides of our family. Chris and I are thankful for our smart, funny and beautiful daughter and we couldn't have been happier as we watched her joyful spirit on Christmas morning!
It was a crazy couple of minutes at the start of Christmas morning. Leila woke up and I heard her door open and an excited gasp at the exact moment the cat threw up on the carpet. "Wait!", I yelled to Leila. "Go back in your room for three minutes!!!". I really wanted to see her expression as she looked at Santa's gifts, but I couldn't leave the mess on the carpet. Ugh! Just a few minutes later we were ready for take two. Leila was so surprised! Santa left her a dollhouse, a new baby and Jingle the dog.
We always start with stockings after settling in on the floor. I don't think Leila's stocking would have fit one more thing!

After Leila's nap we headed to Christopher's parents' house for Christmas dinner and gifts. We have a tradition of watching one of the best Christmas movies of ALL TIME, White Christmas, each year. Leila watched the entire thing this year and kept talking about the dance moves she saw and the ones she knew already from dance classes. It became one of her favorites this season and we couldn't be more pleased!
