Aidan and Elly on Christmas morning

Aidan, Elly and Auntie Ekua on Christmas Day.
Elly with her presents from Santa--Christmas morning. Notice she has a bow in her hand. :)
Aidan with one of his gifts from Santa--Christmas morningWell, the holidays have come and gone. It was a whirlwind as usual. It always amazes me how we spend months of preparation just for it to be over in about 15 minutes. :)
This was Elly's first Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent at home. I made a large dinner and we watched movies.
Christmas morning we awoke to Santa's arrival. I was expecting Aidan to burst into the bedroom at 5am, but thankfully he slept in. He made sure the minute he was up that we were aware there were presents waiting though! So we gathered around the tree and opened gifts in our pajamas. Elly really had no interest in the presents other than the bows. She was obsessed with the bows.
It's funny because if there is a sales flyer, newspaper or magazine within her reach, she will rip it to shreds, but the minute we wanted her to rip open a present she wanted nothing to do with it. Isn't that how it always goes?!
In the afternoon we headed down to Grandma Gwen's house. She prepared a delicious meal and had a huge, gorgeous tree. We opened lots of presents! Needless to say, neither Aidan or Elly were hurting for gifts by the time we were done!
As always, we are reminded of how fortunate we are to have wonderful families and our health and happiness.
