Christmas this year was very different, but also better then ever because Haylee is with us now. There is so much to prepare for the holidays and so little time. Christmas came so fast and I was not ready at all! Christmas was so stressful and busy that it was hard to enjoy the holiday and relax. We took off Christmas afternoon for Bear Lake to see my family. So, the days leading up to Christmas were not only spent preparing for Christmas itself, but also getting ready to leave town. Christmas day was really busy and stressful traveling to different family gatherings, but once we got to Bear Lake, we were able to really enjoy the holiday and relax. There was lots of delicious food, time with family, relaxation, and even a little quilting!
Christmas morning was special with our angel with us for the first time! We planned on not getting much for Haylee due to her age. We assumed she would be more interested in the wrapping paper and bows than anything else. Well, she did not know what to do when I put a present in front of her! She really was not too interested in anything. Maybe a little overwhelmed. Once we unwrapped the presents and found the toys underneath the paper she got a little more intrigued. She really only opened 2 or 3 presents Christmas morning and I took the rest with us to Bear Lake. Once we were up at Bear Lake she knew a little better what to do with the gifts.
I just had to stick a bow on her head! Mean Mommy!
Looking a little confused, but she loves her little train!
Rich and I gave each other iPhones for Christmas so I was not planning on anything else Christmas morning, but Rich surprised me with some cute boots and some CD's.
Haylee opening her present from her cousin, Sienna. It was a cute outfit to match Sienna's. See the picture below.
Haylee liked the box to her ball popper better than the actual ball popper. The ball popper actually scares her a little! She hates the sound and when the balls pop out of the top, they make her jump!
