Christmas!

Madeline exceeded my expectations on Christmas morning. She woke up in a great mood, like usual, and loved watching us turn on the tree in her room. She said "Oooh!" like she did every time a tree was turned on this year. She noticed the present Santa had left for her under there and then followed us out to the big tree in the living room. Usually she gets cranky right away if she doesn't eat, but the minute she saw what Santa had left for her.. she didn't think about food again for some time!

  A view of the tree after Santa came.

 

 Turner found his and went straight under the bed, silly dog!

Stockings were filled!

 Merry Christmas!

 A present from Santa

 Straight for the cozy coupe!

 Knocked other presents out of the way to get there!

 Loving it!

 Actually got out of it to open her stocking.

 Hollywood! And back in the cozy coupe...

 She noticed that Santa drank all his milk (unlike her) and ate some of the cookies.

 Playing with new toys at the Grandparents' house.

 Snack break! (What she does best!)

 Back at it with Grandma Beth and Grandma Jan.

 Playing puzzles with Grandpa Dan.

 Not sure about the Sit-n-Spin, yet...

Playing, playing, playing!
