Christmas 2012

 We got home from ice skating, put Leila in the bath and then got ready for Santa's visit! Leila picked out the cookies she thought he would most enjoy. A few sugar cookies and a couple Ritz crackers with peanut butter and chocolate.

I think the skating did its trick, because she wasn't up too late that night!! Christmas morning finally arrived! We had told Leila to call to us when she woke up so we could all come out front at the same time, but that didn't happen...of course not! She tip-toed into our room, woke us up and told us all about the presents Santa left for her. She had already been awake for who knows how long playing by the tree with her new toys. Aww, Christmas magic!!

She took a little break from presents to finish off Santa's crumbs. 

She couldn't wait to put on her new green Chris Kratt (Wild Kratts - an animal show on PBS Kids) shirt!

Christmas babies: Adam and Adora

Santa brought her a pink Barbie car, a toy pool for Barbie and Belle the talking Christmas dog. The biggest hit of the holiday was Daddy's present...He-Man toys. He went to the Toy Stable, a shop that sells vintage 80s toys, and bought her a set of her very own He-Man figures. I don't know if the giver or receiver of that gift was more excited!
