Lyla's First Christmas

Lyla's first Christmas was great. I don't think she really got any of the present opening, but she sure did love tasting all of her presents. We started out on Christmas Eve at Grammy and Big Guy's house (my parents). My sister came in for dinner and present opening. Lyla got way too many presents from my parents, but who can blame them. A few outfits, some shape sorts (one for our house one for their's), a Little People Nativity, a ball, some books and some shoes. Autumn got her a sit to stand Lion that sings. She loved the lion! I think it was because it sang as soon as the paper was torn off.



Christmas morning we awoke to find that Santa had arrived. (I loved playing Santa!) Santa filled Lyla's stocking with shoes, books, an ornament and a new softy. He also left her a book and a mailbox that sings and teaches her the ABC's and numbers. Andy and I also got Lyla blocks and a pop up toy. Andy and I also did some gift exchanges. I think we both did a great job for each other. He way went over our agreed amount of each other, but I didn't mind too much.



After Lyla's morning nap we packed up and headed to Andy's mom's house. We ate breakfast and had yet another gift exchange. Lyla got more clothes a this too cute alphabet train that is a sit to stand. It sings and has blocks that pop in to tell her the letters. So educational and so fun.

All in all Lyla had a great Christmas. On the down side, I got sick Christmas afternoon and ended up in bed until Monday morning. I am still recovering from the lack of food and from the weakness of not moving from my bed for two and half days.
