OH Santa Baby!

Love this time of year but I am secretly glad it is over. My house is still a disaster 4 days later. I keep cleaning up stuff and this little human keeps coming behind me and dragging it back out. We have definitely played with EVERYTHING more than once since Christmas. She loves it and loved Christmas.
We had a fun Christmas Eve. Grammy and Grumpy came to stay and we went to Christmas Eve service at church. It was nice and she had a fun time. Unfortunately daddy couldn't get off work in time but he picked up a pizza and had it ready when we got home.

We opened Christmas stockings, which she was not thrilled about, and we made Christmas cookies for Santa. 

She did like her minnie mouse PJs

She had such a fun time ripping into gifts on her first Christmas but she was over the moon excited about gifts this year. For some reason I was able to find wrapping paper that does not rip…I don't think I have ever seen that before but she wasn't a fan. She had to help everyone open their gifts! There was definitely no stopping her! I am not sure about you but I seriously hate bows on gifts…you can't stack packages without them getting squashed or ripped off and when you are storing them they also get squashed. I have done without bows the last couple of years and I love it…but I do happen to wait until the last minute to finish my gift tags so some go without.

The gold ones with the crappy tied bows were from santa…it doesn't matter what his gifts look like, right? Ha!

This is what missy got to see when she woke up…I was seriously up at 7:30 because I was so excited. I had the kitchen clean and coffee made and we just waited…dad finally woke her up at 8:30 because we seriously could not wait anymore! I am not sure she knew what she was looking at when she came in…she was like yeah there is the tree just like everyday… but once we started giving her gifts she was so excited!

She got lots of fun gifts but her favorite was play makeup, especially the lip gloss, and her second favorite was her dyson vacuum. She has been following me around this evening vacuuming with me. It is so cute!!

Here are just a few pics of Christmas morning. 

She got her very own iPad from Grammy and Grumpy two days after she dropped daddys on the ground and busted it… she wasn't overly impressed, I think she thought we just wrapped the iPad up to give it to her. Ha! I would definitely say this was a Christmas for the books. Now the clean up… and the NEW YEAR! I can't wait to see what it holds!

Merry Christmas From the Brooks!
