The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I love Christmas morning. This year was even better to see the joy on Lainey's face. She is a little young to understand the anticipation of Christmas but she definitely understood this is a great day when she saw the perfect little table that her daddy made for her next to her new miniture kitchen. She gasped, said "wow", and headed straight for one of her new chairs. She climbed up and immediately began to play. Jamie and I had such fun showing Lainey the new treasures and felt so blessed at the gift of family. We always enjoyed Christmas morning before, but this brings a new joy. What a blessing Lainey is. I am truly grateful every day that I get to be her mom. This day in particular is one I won't forget. Hope you enjoy the pictures. This new little friend prompted a new word. Something like "elphan."
Jamie's creation and the new kitchen. What a great dad. Lainey is a very blessed little girl to have such an amazing daddy.
A classic toy we thought might be some fun. Lainey loves faces and giggles every time daddy puts a funny face on. Good ole Mr. Potato Head...I wonder who thought of this concept...it really is strange!
We had a fun game night at Papa and Mawny's on Christmas. Lainey, Maddie and Isaiah wore their matching outfits from Mawny.
The day after Christmas we spent time with Jamie's family. Lainey and Silas had a great time opening presents and trying out their new toys. This picture is of their new little stools that Grandpa and Grandma painted their names on. We had a great day playing games and eating too much (thanks to Debra's chocolate chip cheesecake that is amazing!) but we missed aunt Crystal who was home not feeling well.
