I'm learning that holidays get more and more fun as Lyla grows and can understand things more. The whole holiday season has been so much fun with Lyla...dancing to Christmas music, hanging candy canes on the tree (or mostly eating them off the tree) and helping make yummy treats. We celebrated Christmas Eve at my mom's house with everyone. I couldn't help but feel like I did as a child, anticipating what was to come the next day. I guess that's the magic of children. Lyla loved opening the traditional gift of pjs with her cousins. I would say she tolerated the acting out of the Nativity. She played Baby Jesus again this year. While she was small enough to do so, she certainly wasn't docile enough to do so! She did pretty good letting Elsie hold her like a baby though.

(note the Angel holding her star :)
First she has the Popsicle...
Now she doesn't! lol
"Secret Santa"
Todd finally got his wish for a Banana Chair (ugh).
When we got home that night we let Lyla open her gifts from us. It was so fun having a little Christmas with just our little family. Mainly, she opened gifts to go inside what Santa was bringing her
Stab the doll
Then love the doll...hahaha
Then we put Lyla to bed and set out assembling Santa's toys. What would I do without Todd?
Ta DA! This little bugger was a beast for Todd to put together. It was in a zillion pieces and took these itty bitty screws. Thank goodness he is so handy. I just had to hold things for him to screw but I was exhausted by the time we were done, which was at 1am. We officially feel like parents :) I could hardly sleep thinking about walking her into her room the next morning to see what Santa brought.
