Christmas Eve

We spent a wonderful day together today! Matt and I (with Anna's help when she was in the kitchen) finished up some last minute baking during the day and did a little prep for our evening meal. I was quite amused that Anna didn't really know what day it was today and what it means. We didn't really make a big deal about opening presents until after supper and then she was raring to go!

She was extremely excited to get a big-girl dolly. Fortunately for us that meant a doll with hair and not something like an American Girl doll. I'm sure that day will come. She named her doll Amy. (Mommy suggested Amy after Anna wanted to name her Anna or Lily--her other baby's name.)

Daddy and Mommy got to open a few presents, too. Anna was a very good helper.

Anna was very excited about all her presents! It was so fun watching her be enthusiastic about all of them. She'll be very busy after church tomorrow playing with her new stuff.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas, you guys! Glad you're enjoying good family time. We decided to go to CA next week after all! We'll have to try to get together before your big trips.
