We stayed in for Christmas Eve this year. It was mostly due to the fact I'm feeling very uncomfortable with only a few weeks left until Alex arrives. I actually slept and relaxed most of the day, while Jimmy and Amelia played around the house. Thanks Jimmy!!!
Our tradition has been to eat Chinese food and sushi for dinner on Christmas Eve (must be the Jewish in us, ha ha ha). We ordered take out, watched football, and had a quiet evening at home. Since Amelia's birth, we've started another Christmas Eve tradition. Jimmy reads Amelia The Night Before Christmas before bed.
Christmas Morning
Amelia had a blast opening all her gifts this year! It took several hours and two sessions because it took her several minutes to open each gift... and then she had to play with it for a while. Then, she needed to take a nap and resumed gift opening once she woke up.
"Santa" (Jimmy and I) just got her two big gifts this year. We got her a child sized chair and a felt board. We got both ideas from our many trips to the library. It would have been easy for us to go all-out but we don't want to spoil her and we knew she would get plenty of gifts from our family and friends. Thank you everyone for making Amelia's Christmas so special!
