After the party with my side of the family, we left the next morning for a party with Jason's side of the family and to spend the remainder of the weekend with them.
Allary reading a story with Great Grandma.
Jason's grandparents always give out ornaments as gifts at the family party. Allary got a Disney ornament this year.
We returned home Sunday evening and went over to Trisha's house to visit with Mom and Dad.We spent most of Monday and all of Tuesday there. Trisha planned a nice little program with performances by the kids, the nativity video, and goodies for the night of Christmas Eve. Kevin and his family came over also.
Christmas Morning...
We had to wake Allary up to see what Santa brought so that we could go over to Trisha's house, go figure. She came down the stairs, stopped and stared and just said matter-of-factly, "Santa brought a kitchen." Not the ecstatic-bounding-down-the-stairs-with-joy reaction I was looking for, but she does love her new kitchen.
Check out her facial expression in this one..
And again in this one...
Then it was over to Trisha's house to see what else Santa had brought and to open up all our presents.
Allary got Daddy some cool new jammies.
Beauty and the Beast (from Mom and Dad.)
She is totally into Dora right now.
Cinderella!

Looks like a wonderful Christmas! Don't worry Brooke, you'll get some good reactions as she gets older. I think the key is the anticipation. When they are so young they don't really remember the last Christmas and therefore just take it all in this time rather than getting soooo excited.
That's really a cute kitchen! What fun! (By the way, I often have those same expressions on my face while working in the kitchen.)
