Photos from Christmas day

Aria, Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful Christmas day. After getting up and having a quick bite to eat we started opening presents. Aria had many wonderful presents from Karen's and Ted's families and from Amber's and Charlie's families. Aria would pick out each present from under the Christmas tree and then take it to one of us to open. She likes to focus on each present and enjoy it until moving on to the next one. Since that process took many hours we took a break for a scrumptious breakfast that Karen prepared for us. In the afternoon we took a walk in the park. It was a sunny day but cool. Aria liked sliding down the icy slides at the playground. In the late afternoon we enjoyed sharing the contents of our stockings. The kitties even got their own stockings with toys that Aria could throw to them. It was a wonderful Christmas day.

Aria enjoyed opening each present.




























































Aria received a pretty new dress and a potty training doll that she really likes.

















... and some animal magnets. She's already covered the dishwasher with a whole herd of animals and learned some new words, like flamingo and peacock.










In the middle of opening presents we enjoyed Mommy's scrumptious baked apple pancakes.












Super cute new overalls and a present from last year that Aria still enjoys.

















At the end of a busy day Aria took a nap under the Christmas tree.
