A Christmas Day and Night

morning at oma and opa's house....Julia woke up adam and karli (really fun for us...hopefully for them too.haha.) She jumped on the bed, and then onto their tummies and sat there saying, "Time to get up and open presents!!!!!!!!!!"
Julia received many lovely thoughtful gifts from all members of the household. many thanks to their generosity and love and care. Oma and Opa supplied her with lots of plastic food to play with, as she is prone to make-believing a restaurant with waitresses and such. Also a lovely IKEA tea set, and pots and pans for cooking.
this was the eve of the eve of Christmas at karli's house (sorry everything is out of order, and i didn't move it into it's proper place....so suffer the flashbacks with me. haha) Carla Raes is a favorite of our family, and here Julia snuggled up to her and pulled the blanket up as well! haha. so loved.
This is at Karli's as well, for Christmas eve dinner. We all brought a little something for a potluck, then we played and laughed and the children opened gifts!! Julia is wearing hers! a real cowgirl now. i'm so proud. :) haha. Thanks to Aunti Karli, she is living out her dream of being a horse girl.
Now to Christmas day again, Aunti Ann bought this cute, cuddly and snuggly horse for Julia. She fell in love immediately, naming it "Small One" from a Christmas film she had just seen. haha. and "Small One" accompanied her to nap time that day.
