Christmas Morning

Christmas morning got off to a slow start since Mikaela decided to sleep in.  The adults got dressed and ready for church before she ever woke up.  We have a Happy Birthday Jesus Breakfast (gingerbread this year) and then present time.  Mikaela nibbled on a little bit of "birthday cake" and then headed to the gifts.  There was a big one under the tree for her this year so it was hard to focus on cake until later.

It was Papa Bill's job to get them all out of the package.

the food came with a cutting board and knife because you can "cut" all the veggies as Gran demonstrates here

 After opening all of the gifts from Gran & Papa Bill and arranging her kitchen, we took a break to get dressed for church.  Then it was back to play time and another present before leaving for church.

 After nap, Mikaela discovered she still had another gift under the tree she hadn't opened yet.

We had a great time playing and visiting with the family.  I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
