Christmas Eve/ Christmas Morning

Hmmm.... I'm trying to think back to what we did Christmas Eve.... this was when I had a really bad cold.  I was most likely in bed for most of the day!

Christmas Eve-evening we headed to our church's Christmas Service.  Wasn't too sure how it was going to go with me not feeling good in more ways than one and nursery wasn't open so we had Miss M. with us :0)  But it went really good.  It didn't last long, so that helped and there was a lot of singing... so no one could hear Makenzie talking really loud!

After church we came back to our house and got dinner around.  Matt had put a pork loin in the oven so we had to quick come up with some sides and dinner was served!

Makenzie put out some cookies for Santa and then she was off to bed.  And Matt was off to put her kitchen together!  Wow did that take some patience!  We had pieces all over the living room.

Makenzie bringing out the dish of cookies!
Apparently she had to "sample" it before she could let the plate go!

Christmas morning Makenzie got up to see that Santa had come!  She had a REALLY big present waiting for her to tear it open.  Boy did she have fun.  She opened and opened and opened! 

She got a train too!!

Guitar

Kitchen!  Onto stocking!

My warning to stop with all the pictures and attempts to make her smile!

Emptying stocking... just tip it over!

Stocking goodies: socks, stickers, cars, flip flops!

Once we got Santa's gifts opened we had some cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then went back to the family room to open the gifts under the tree. 


"Hmm... now what was Daddy using to open his gifts?"
She saw Matt using his swiss army knife to open stuff so she paused during opening, grabbed the knife (all folded up) and tried to open it!  Monkey see monkey do!


Makenzie put the stickers to good use right away!

After all the gifts were opened I was feeling pretty miserable.  Matt put Makenzie down for a nap and then headed to Walgreen's to see if he could find me some relief!  After Makenzie got up from her nap we headed to Christmas Party #3 at Matt's parents house!
