Christmas morning at home

Well, after a very eventful Christmas Eve out--little miss slept in till after 11 Christmas morning! Eric had already made the fresh squeezed pineapple/ orange juice. Grandma Jahn brought breakfast casserole, and I made mini-tater tots and biscuits...not to mention, the living room was filled with presents, all 4 grandparents, Kristin and Jim, Ily (Shadow was in the garage), and E and I bustling around. We'd all eaten and were enjoying our spiked coffee, when the littlest Young awoke...

When she finally made a peep, Eric and I raced up to get her (for fear she'd fall back asleep again) and quickly told her that all her Grandparents and Aunt Kris/ Uncle Jim were here (we've long-since learned that she doesn't do well with "surprise" guests waiting for her downstairs.) So both Grandmas came up to wish her good morning, and we headed downstairs for breakfast.

It took her a good 15 minutes or so to wake up, eat some breakfast, and really even acknowledge any presents. Mostly, she was interested in bows (of course) and occosianally as Eric or I would open something near her, she'd rip a scrap of paper off--then sign to one of us to open it. We kept the Grandpas hopping with tags, fastners, taped boxes, and installing batteries!

I think she had toy overload, because between all the people, toys, presents, etc., she didn't really know where to turn. She did enjoy some of the fun "pretty," smaller things in her stocking--that was fun. Clips, candy, pretty packaged, things...but mostly, I think she was quickly ready for her nap.

She had a VERY busy morning, with lots of family, love, memories, and laughs--it was a great Christmas morning, and I know we all had a great time!
