Christmas was a very busy day, yet again. Shane and I got up first and waited (not so) patiently for little missy to wake up and tear into her gifts. Once she woke up, we walked her out to the living room where we had her new little table and chairs set up. She didn't know what to think, but we could tell she was happy. She sat down at her new pink table while her sweet feet dangled and she started drawing on the dry erase table top. It was adorable. Then she moved on to her new play grocery cart filled with play groceries. She loves pushing around her little stroller so we knew she would love her own pink grocery cart, I mean who wouldn't? After that she opened another one of her favorites, a new baby doll. We also got her a new pair of crocs', a puppy dog purse, a play laptop and a few other things. After she had breakfast we all got ready and headed over to my parents house for a lovely Christmas brunch. I made a copycat version of Cracker Barrels hash brown casserole, yum!! My parents put on the full spread, it was all delicious! My aunt and Grandpa even stopped by, which was a nice surprise. We talked, laughed, ate, had a couple Mimosa's and opened gifts. A good time had by all. Savannah made out pretty darn good, too many gifts to even remember. My sister and grandma shipped their gifts down from Michigan so she had all of those to open as well.
From there we headed over to Shane's parents, it was a very nice time. Shane's dad is very sick and we are just trying to enjoy our time with him. I don't want to go into details right now. Savannah was in rare form by the time our visit was wrapping up, she was so hyper! This day was full of excitement for her so she was flying around!
We were all so tired by the time we got home that we just crashed. It was a very good day, and in some ways a very sad day. Kind of a roller coaster. But we did our best to make it special for Savannah and I believe we succeeded. It was so fun watching her open her gifts, I can't wait for next year, I know it will be even better for her since she will understand all of it a little more :)
