Christmas Day Festivities

We were up late last night so we all slept in today. We got up and started opening presents around 11a and started round 2 of Christmas Celebrations. Emery really liked opening her gifts, she would open one, look at it for a minute, toss the gift to the side and say, "mas" (more in Spanish). She got spoiled with all kinds of fun gifts including a Princess Dress Up Kit, a tool set, lots of books and clothes. She's one lucky girl!

Cute Makayla with the Christmas tree


Halfway through opening gifts, Emery decided she needed a break and laid down with her new Elmo B (she calls blankets "b's")

Makayla got a ton of cool gifts too. She got a magic set, a zhu zhu and a ton of clothes. After dinner, she tried out her Magician skills. We had a good time, lots of laughing, but, let's just say, she shouldn't give up her day job. Makayla mixed up a few of the tricks but we all had a good time.As we were putting Emery down to bed, she wanted Maya (that's what she calls Makayla) to lay in her crib with her. So, of course, Makayla jumped right in and cuddled with her. Then Emery wanted me to get in the crib - ya right!

Christmas Eve Celebration

We went to Ivan's sisters for Christmas Eve. We enjoyed a great dinner and as always, great company with the whole family.

She is obsessed with checking her toes for toe jam - sick! Emery literally takes her shoes and socks off several times a day and checks between each toe for lint. I have no idea where she picked up this obsession.
