Christmas morning

We had an absolutely fabulous Christmas Day, it was really busy but really wonderful. Christmas is so fun with little ones. Leila totally gets the idea of Christmas but is so scared of Santa, she doesn't care if he is the one who brings her presents she wants nothing to do with him. We couldn't even tell her on Christmas eve that Santa was coming unless we wanted to be up all night with her because she would have been so paranoid she would not have slept. We already experienced this early in the month when we told her there were Christmas elves watching to make sure she was being good, she was so frightened that it took us forever to assure her the elves were not in the house, they were at the north pole. On Christmas morning I went in to wake her up and told her Santa had come, she freaked out, grabbed onto me and didn't want to leave her room, once I got her out she kept looking around the room making sure Santa was not there. Once she realized he was not in the house and that there were lots of presents she got so excited. We started out the morning at Paul's mom's house, then went to my parents house for the afternoon and then up to Park City to see Paul's dad that evening. We were definitely spoiled by our families. Leila loves her new kitchen, vanity, and V-motion video game. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful and generous families! Sorry my pictures are a little out of order.
