Christmas Day

Christmas morning was so sweet with our precious baby girl. Tessa slept late and then snuggled in bed with us before we all headed downstairs to open presents.

Gamma and Gampa arrived with Nanie in time for brunch and more presents.

Tessa really didn't tear into her packages. She would easily get sidetracked with something like tissue paper, the dog, or a previously opened toy. It took us literally all day to open her presents. But the slow pace made for a nice and relaxing day.

Here she is hanging out with Gampa and Anabelle on the couch.

Probably my favorite gift was the trunk full of dress up clothes. It could be said that this gift is as much for me as it is for Tessa. We played dress up and Tessa modeled several of the new princess and fairy outfits by prancing up and down the "runway."



She was skeptical about the crowns at first so I demonstrated how fun it is to wear a tiara. She received all kinds of cool accessories, including Snow White's Mirror Mirror on the Wall.

Here we are cooking. Ryan was a big help in the kitchen, as always.

We planned our big meal around Tessa's nap schedule so we were all able to sit down and enjoy the food. She didn't wake up until long after we'd finished dessert. Then we had more presents!

We broke out the games and Ryan tried to bankrupt us all with Christmasopoly. Granny deeded me all of her property and Daddy and I made some sweet deals. After that, we called it quits and decided everybody wins.



It was a very merry Christmas!
