Christmas Morning 2010

12.25.2010

Hallie fell asleep almost instantly when we got home on Christmas Eve, but she was excited to see what Santa brought in the morning. It is so fun to get to see the magic of Christmas! :)

Good morning!

Santa came!
Not the best quality picture in the world, but I just love that little face. She was SO happy!

Santa brought dress-ups! An instant favorite!

The other favorite...a stick horse!

Eric got Cinderella Man, one he's wanted for a long time.

Santa of course brought me chocolate! And in the process created a little chocoholic...and Im'm not talking about me. For the days after Christmas Hallie kept stealing my chocolate, because she loves it. But can you blame her?

Opening presents

New books!

Pretty Princesses

A new dress, because all of Hallie's all of a sudden were not eve close to being long enough

Eric duct taped my presents. :( He thought he was oh so funny...until I made hime get it off.

The story with the duct tape...a few days before Christmas I went to get the mail, and there was an envelope addressed to Eric & Kylie Patterson, so I opened it. Only natural right? But upon opening it I found tickets to go see Noteworthy in concert, which in fact was a gift Eric had gotten for me. Oops! So supossedly the duct tape was payback for that. But it's kind of his fault if you ask me. :)

A few days after Christmas Hallie got to go spend the money Grandma Shawna had sent her for Christmas. She got a fun new puzzle, a dress up bear puzzle, and play-doh! She was one happy camper.

And Chad and LaLa got a princess couch for our little princess

Needless to say, we were all spoiled rotten....but the littlest one most of all :)

Christmas morning was fabulous, after opening presents we made our way back to my parents for the traditional Christmas breakfast. It was very mellow, and relaxing, just as it should be.

Christmas afternoon...well that's a different story. We'll get to that later.
