Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Natalie!
Last night Joel and I read her the Christmas story from her First Children's Bible before she went to sleep. When it was actually time for her to go to sleep, she fought it quite a bit. I told her that if she didn't go to sleep, then Santa couldn't come. She immediatel said, "uh oh!" and fell asleep! We then staged the picture of her with her stocking.
Natalie opened her Santa presents this morning. We do not have pics of this, because we have video. Her attention span was quite humorous. She got a Cabbage Patch doll, the Little People's House, and the Leap Frog Learning Table. She spent approximately one minute with each new toy before she crawled away, grabbed her favorite book, said "booha (her version of book)", and wanted us to read it to her for the millionth time. Very funny.
We then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. She loved the sippy cup that she got that had her name on it. She immediately began trying to use it, even though there was nothing in it. She also loved her doll that is really interactive (identifies her ears, eyes, mouth, tummy, and toes when you have her point to them). She got a precious moment dolly, a Winnie the Pooh scrubbie, and she also got plenty of little people to go in her new house. Natalie loved every moment of it!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
