Alan and I are still enjoying waking up at 7:00 on Christmas morning. Faye woke up as her cheery little self, but was rather confused as to why there were boxes piled around her tree. After the first few gifts, Faye began to understand the opening of wrapping paper concept, though still at a timid speed. We are so lucky to have had so many presents from grandparents for Faye this year.
She loves her new dishes.
And her Little People version of Ariel's castle. She was so excited to play with everything.
Batman was lucky enough to go for a ride with Ariel.
We Skyped with Alan's family. Faye was so excited to see "Bampa" on Daddy's phone.
After a round of presents at our home we headed over to spend time with my family. Faye recieved so many fun things from Grandma, aunts and uncles. She got so excited to see her new toys.
It's funny how some years Christmas presents seem to have a theme. This year the theme was "The Little Mermaid." In addition to Ariel's castle, Faye also received a ballerina Ariel, an 18" doll of Ariel, as well as a singing necklace which includes the song Ariel sings before Ursula steals her voice. It seemed appropriate to watch the "Little Mermaid" for some quite time after the morning excitement.
Here she is in the action of the moment singing along with Ariel.
Alan had to work Christmas evening- one of his last nights with Fairchild- so he returned home to sleep before his shift. Faye and I stayed with my family and enjoyed visiting the Calvert Clan, a very loud and competitive round of Wii Bowling, and some down time. It was so nice to enjoy a relaxing Christmas day. I'm grateful we got to spend some time with Alan's family and share some of the Christmas fun with them.
sounds like you guys had some great holidays! we bought little mermaid this year! :)
