Our Family Christmas

We did our family Christmas on Christmas day morning. We actually didn't have a family get together at that time, so we thought it would be nice to be able to stay home and open presents on Christmas day rather than some other random day.
When we got home on Christmas eve, we set out cookies and a glass of milk for Santa. Bella remembered in the morning to go check if Santa ate and drank them! Magically, he did. :)
We let Bella do her stocking right when she got up. She got a new little doll, a little puppy, a stuffed "neigh," Sesame Street figurines, and ABC magnets for the fridge. The Sesame Street figurines have been a big hit. :)
Obviously however, the big present was Bella's new kitchen, with play food and dishes. We hid it in the laundry room, and then Derek brought it out when she wasn't looking. Bella was very excited to have her own kitchen. When she went over to look at it, she gave me the sweetest little smile. :)
Bella then kept very busy the rest of the morning playing with her new toys. She hopped back and forth between her kitchen and her new dollhouse, since she hadn't gotten to play with it. The Sesame Street characters were welcomed into the dollhouse with love!
Our pretty little girl.
