Christmas Morning...

Before going to bed Jon helped Elsie set out some cookies on the Christmas plate for Santa...Santa ate up all the cookies...and left Elsie a little gift on her pillow!
Elsie rolled over at 9 o'clock in the morning and with eyes still closed she grabbed her Santa gift and hugged it smiling! After admiring the package we told her she could open it up...and she was so excited! Santa brought her what she had asked for...a noisy tooth brush! She was so pleased with her tooth brush she could have cared less about opening the gifts under the tree...
After awhile we passed out the gifts...and Elsie loved it all!
Her big gift was a little wooden kitchen...she really thought the wrapped up package was a new high chair (since we packed hers away)...but when she pulled the paper away she stood with her mouth wide open slowly saying "little kitchen, little kitchen, me!!" She was thrilled and spent the rest of the morning making Jon and I breakfast with her new kitchen, play felt food and glass dishes! One lucky girl!
While opening gifts we enjoying breakfast of tangerines, pineapple, blueberries and GF/CF donuts...these were Elsie's first ever donuts...and I think she rather enjoyed them!
For Christmas this year the "big gift" Elsie and I got for Jon was a gift certificate for a tattoo! He has always wanted a tattoo of Elsie's birth date...but I knew he would never really get one...so I surprised him with one! Jon surprised me with a new hair straightener, some big frames for hanging pictures in the living room and my favorite...some California Baby bubble bath which claims to turn your mood from cranky to happy! I hope he was not trying to tell me I have been crabby lately! In the end we had a lovely Christmas with our little family...

i love elsie's new little kitchen! as soon as marissa & emma start feeling better we'll be over to check it out - they're looking forward to playing 'house' with her again!

and i'm very impressed with jon - he's come a long way in the three years you two have been married --- from first needing your sisters to go with him and *tell* him what to buy for you - to now going to town *all by himself* and finding you just the right gift! ha! very cool!! (good job, jon!!)
