Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child
So I don't know if Brooklyn truly got what was going to happen on Christmas until last night. We opened a few presents for Christmas Eve and she finally understood what presents were. She was so excited that she had a very hard time falling asleep last night. The plan was to put Brooklyn down and Brad and I were going to put her toys together. Brooklyn took 2 hours to finally fall sound asleep and by that time I had all the toys put up and the crib in her room taken down. It all got done and she slept in until 10:00 this morning. It was so hard not to wake her up. Brad and I were probably more excited than her. When she woke up she came down and went straight for the presents under the tree. It was so much fun to see her excitement. Christmas is so much more fun through their eyes. Her big toy was the Rose Petal Cottage with a stove, sink and washer. We set it up her bedroom and brought her up there when all her presents were opened. When she walked in she said, "Oh wow." It was priceless. What a wonderful Christmas.

that was awsome
I love it when they really love their presents! My Dylan is truly thrilled with every present he opens, he has the best reactions!
So fun! I am sure she will love it! Maybe even enough to stay in her room now!
She does love it, but we are spending a lot of time in her room now. She keeps saying, "Play?" and pulling us in her room. Somehow I think this didn't work out quite as planned. :)
Christmas was a lot more fun this year. I loved watching Ryan get so excited about his presents. I think it will be even better next year.
Last night Rhett, Brooklyn's 2-year-old cousin, found Brooklyn's Christmas picture. He laughed and stroked the picture, as excited to see her in that picture as she is to see her new toy. Aren't they precious treasures?
