Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year! Maria has been talking about "Jesus's Birthday" for the last couple of weeks. She loved opening all of her presents. Actually on Christmas Eve she opened everyone's presents. Her gift from her Oma and Opa was a piano. It comes with a microphone and she loved it! Maria got on that microphone and started saying, "oh, oh, oh". It was so funny! When she would open clothes she would just throw them on the ground. I guess those were not so interesting. Christmas Eve was a little different this year since Dorian and Shelley were out of town we did Christmas Eve at our house. It was very nice and relaxing. I'm thinking my mother-in-law may want to do it again at our house because she didn't have to do any clean-up. :) On Christmas morning we woke-up and did Christmas with Maria and Wesley just as our little family. Maria was very excited to open more presents. The hit from Christmas morning was her My Little Pony car. She had been asking for a car. We then spent the rest of Christmas with my family. Maria then opened even more presents. She was in overload by this point. Her favorite gift there was from her Nana and Papa. It was a princess carriage and she played with it and wasen't interested in opening any more gifts after that. She has been asking every morning about more presents. What a spoiled well-loved little girl! The day after Christmas we got 7 inches of snow. We went out in it for just a little bit. It was too cold to be out there to long with Wesley. Maria spent more time outside with Sebastian. She wanted to make a snowman and a snow angel. Wesley wasen't sure how he liked it. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
