Christmas Day 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  Everything is so magical, and I love experiencing this time of year with Kathryn.  Kathryn didn't wake up until almost 8:00 on Christmas morning.  When she woke up, she came downstairs and immediately got into my lap.  I think she was a little overwhelmed with Momma Pam, Mimi, and Papa being there and on top of that, seeing new toys.  After a few minutes of snuggling with me, she got down, and we showed her all the things Santa left.  She seemed very excited about everything.  She LOVED her trampoline and basketball goal.  And, she enjoyed going through all the goodies in her stocking.  The one thing she asked for repeatedly was a bike, and Santa delivered.  However, I think she was a little bit afraid of it.  She tried riding it in the house, but she has not mastered it quite yet.  After playing with all the goodies Santa left out for her, she opened presents from Mommy and Daddy.  Kathryn seemed to really like everything she got, and she was so sincere when saying thank you.  I think we are raising an appreciative little girl (I hope so at least).  After all the presents were opened, we all sat down together and ate a big breakfast.  The rest of the morning was spent playing and resting.  It was a perfect Christmas morning!!!
