I'm pretty sure last Christmas, Amara was up at 6--i remember i was making sausage roll and I saw her at the stairs and it startled me!
This year, however, we were all sitting around, LITERALLY waiting for her to wake up. We told the Youngs to be here at 7--and with their drive, there's not much we could do to change that.
I still got up early to make the sausage roll, but we had sugar cookies made already and some candies, so I didn't have to do much else.
Cora slept in till probably 7:30 and Amara pushed it till 8--and even that, was with sissy climbing up into her bed and literally jumping on her to tell her Merry Christmas.
Amara was so sound asleep, she was out of it and forgot it was Christmas morning!!
We went downstairs and the girls were thrilled to see the stockings filled and all the presents around the tree!
Grandma and Grandpa Young got big hugs and then the girls took to examining every detail. In just another second, the Jahns came in, and brought even more presents!
Amara loved her rainbow loom bracelet and storage box (haha) while Cora took to her her books and panda flashlight friend. Both girls loved the Rapunzel cone that Santa brought back all the way from Florida too!
Cora grew tired of opening pretty quickly and settled with finding all the chocolate. Amara was more eager to unwrap and even offered to help others unwrap--which was great to see and do with her. Amara was very kind with Cora--offering her presents and helping her all morning long.
The grandmas and grandpas enjoyed some gifts picked out from the girls, and some photo books of the girls. The girls got their own photo books too--a summary of Disney, that I made for them after the trip. Everyone seemed to really like the books!
After some opening, we all took a break in the kitchen for some food--mom had brought breakfast casserole and I made coffees for everyone and juice for all the sickies in the bunch--since we've all been passing this cough around!!
The break didn't last long, before the girls started digging into the boxes. Amara and Eric got out a tracing toy and she was loving making her own drawings. Cora was unpacking more dolls and playing with her race track set--but the star of Amara's morning was her Furreal friends kitty Daisy, which she had diligently asked Santa for, it was amazing to see how happy she was and how well she took care of her all day.
I am so glad the girls had their grandparents here this morning--it was so neat, especially since it's something I was never lucky enough to have, and I welcome mornings like this for as long as we can have them!
