Christmas Wrap-Up

A friend of mine gave me this idea when asking Santa what to bring for our little ones:
Something she wants
Something she needs
Something to wear &
Something to read
At the top of Kelsea's list was a pink bike...
she must have been good this year
Something she needs:
Bedding (pink) for her big girl bed(s). We have a video of her seeing her new bedding on Christmas morning, but I need to figure out how to edit it down since it's 4 minutes long, in addition to needing to cut out the part where she's running around naked.Kelsea, also got a crib from Grandpa Mike for her baby. It took some convincing that Lorelei will not be sleeping there when she arrives.Something to wear:
A princess dress counts right? She ends up spending most weekends in some sort of dress up outfit anyway...Something to read:
You'll have to take my word on this one. Santa did bring her 3 new books to read. You'll see one later in the post.

Kelsea also got this cute pink guitar from her friends Adam & Jake. Uncle Steve is going to have to teach her how to play!
After a whirlwind of opening presents in the morning, we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa's for dinner. Kelsea discovering what Christmas is all about: GOOD food and family of course!
Two days after Christmas we headed up to Bakersfield to spend the holiday with my Dad's family. With over 20 people it was quite a feast, especially with my uncle Dinato as the Chef. Kelsea also got spoiled from her Love relatives! This was definitely one of her favorite gifts.
This baby & basket belonged to my cousin Daniella when she was a little girl. I am impressed that her Mama saved it for that many years! Kelsea played with her baby the entire evening to include reading one of her new books, Merry Christmas Curious George.
The next day we stopped at Kelsea's Great-Grandparents home, where she surrounded herself with singing Christmas dolls. This year we brought home a non-singing doll.

The magic of Christmas certainly returns with a little one around. Hard to believe that this year we will have two girls opening presents on Christmas morning!
