Then she walked down the stairs and was a little unsure of what to do next. We had to convince her it was okay to open a present. So she did. Then she was done and wanted to watch baby Jesus on TV. We did that for a little while until we told her today was the day she could open all of the presents under the tree. Reese finally decided that would be okay. She slowly opened her presents. She enjoyed her new snow pants...
And her binoculars to watch the "octopus" with Gramps....
Reese opened present after present, enjoying them a little bit at a time, but still out of sorts until....she opened her present from Aunt Kami!! Aunt Kami got Reese a new baby doll. After that Reese was herself again, happy, cheerful and loving ALL her gifts, now that she had a new baby to enjoy them with. Go figure!
I spent the morning trying to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. My friend Erin had made these and they were so yummy. I thought I could make them too.
I started making them a 7:30 and they finally came out of the oven at 11:30! I learned a lot in the process and Matt has even agreed to let me attempt them again.
After a late breakfast and nap time quickly approaching we headed over to Canterwood for a family walk in the sunshine. Reese brought "cute baby" with her of course.
We enjoyed our walk together and thought we were coming home for some peace and quite....but Reese decided not to nap. Here is a tired two year old at 5:45pm on a no nap day...
We still enjoyed a tasty turkey dinner together, gave Reese an extra long bath and put her to bed early. Then Matt and I got that peace and quite we were looking for and enjoyed a movie together! Merry Christmas!
