MM’s First Christmas

Well, MM’s first Christmas has come and gone.  All I can say is that it was wonderful and better than I ever imagined.  I remember last Christmas so well–all day long I would think, ‘I wonder how it’s going to be next year?’

Christmas Eve we went to my grandmother’s house for our annual steak dinner and presents exchange.  MM, of course, received more than her fair share of presents including a play kitchen, a Mini Cooper Powerwheel, a car you push with your feet, a lamb that baas and tail that wiggles, books, clothes, and a bear that sneezes, etc.  And all of this before Christmas!

And then Christmas morning arrived!  From C. and I Santa she got a four-wheeler, books, a My Pal Scout, a plastic picnic table, and some plastic food for her play kitchen.

C. got me an antique roll-top tambour and an antique child’s rocking chair.   That C. knows me too well–he always gives me the perfect gifts.  Here MM is modeling for me in said chair.  Too cute!

Then my parents came over and more presents were given.  Too many presents to list (they even gave her a TV for her playroom!).  They were the ones that gave her the coveted “Most Favorite Present of Christmas”…a stuffed lion pillow we named Lucy.  After all the present opening and playing this is where MM landed.

After a nap, C.’s parents came over and MM got a slide and a lawn mower and other things.  She wasn’t sure how to climb the slide, but she sure did love sliding down!

And the rest of the day was spent napping and playing.  At dinner, everyone came back over to house (all 13 of us) for turkey sandwiches, chili, and brunswick stew.  Unfortunately, my camera batteries died right when everyone got here so there are no pictures.  Boo!

This Christmas was such a magical time for us and I cherished getting to see it through MM’s little eyes.  I feel so very blessed.
