Christmas Morning

This was our first year to spend Christmas morning with just our family and we loved it. Don't get me wrong, we also enjoy being with our extended families, but it was great to have our own traditions and stay in our pajamas extra long.

We watched a video about Jesus being born, which of course led to acting out the story. All month Liliana puts her blanket over her head and pretends to be Mary and we take turns switching off as shepherds and angels. It's cute.

We opened gifts and then skyped Nana and Papa in TX to open gifts they sent.
One gift in particular was a Dora microphone that sings and glamour shoes. Oh my.. Liliana loved it!



We played, made a birthday cake for Jesus and had such a fun day.
We also started to make an igloo. We went out in the back yard area and started a mound of snow. We were going to let it freeze and then build on top of it a few more days before digging our entrance. So sad that the weather got warm for several days and our snow is all gone. I hope it snows again soon so we can try again!
