a very merry christmas!

so, i'm a bit late posting this...but that's the story of my life!  the last two weeks of december were the busiest of the year, with parties, presents, etc...but it was all good stuff (except for the last day of the vacation where i spent it in the ER, but that's neither here nor there).  we had a blast, and seeing her excitement over santa and the abominable snow monster were probably the highlights of the month.  


she was very excited, and kept saying "more presents open???" whenever her present pile was depleted.  it was magic.  :)  


here are a few pics.


first, the poor snow monster.  this is the ornament that we picked out for her because she is in love with this guy, and we thought it was wood (read: unbreakable).  turns out that he's plastic, and he was dropped onto the hardwood floor.  he lost his face...but she still loves him!  i don't think she even noticed!

here she is on christmas eve, with her beloved snow monster.  (before the accident)

and here are some shots from christmas morning.  she LOVED her tunnel, and i got some great smiley shots of her!  (rest assured, my man was also wearing plaid pjs.  in fact, my mom got plaid pjs for the entire fam...it was a theme!)

and santa didn't forget about daisy!  she got a supposedly indestructible chew toy -- the toughest that the make (read: $40!!!).  there's some truth to that, though...she still hasn't killed it!  we usually can't find toys to last longer than 5 minutes.

and here we are, dressed in real clothes on christmas day!  we had SUCH a good time!  great food, great family, lots of laughs, and no drama.  a perfect holiday.  yay!

we hope that you had a great holiday, too!
