Merry Christmas

Christmas morning started a lot earlier than we had planned.  Vivian was up around 3:00 am asking if we could open presents yet.  She popped out a couple more times, and put on a fancy party dress, before our previously agreed upon 6:00 am wake up time.


She hopped around while the grown ups armed themselves with coffee, and then we were ready to open presents.  We started with stockings.  Vivian was very excited that things were sticking out of hers and Elena's.



Elena liked the Donald and Goofy toys, but she was even more interested in the baseball bat that was intended for Vivian.


She put the ball on the ground and tried to golf with the bat for a while before ditching the bat and just throwing and kicking the ball around.  This was also Elena's first Christmas being able to at least attempt opening packages herself.


The most popular items were My Little Pony related.  I think the Power Ponies were intended for Vivian, but Elena was mesmerized.


She decided they went well with the My Little Pony sleeping bag and pillow.


She was willing to share though.


The best Christmas gift was having family here to share the day with us.


We fueled up on a breakfast of sausage balls and pancakes, and then we were off to the airport and Chiang Mai for a long weekend adventure.
