Christmas Morning 2013

Christmas was a wonderful day for Hannah and I filled with lots of love, time together and special moments with family!

Hannah first woke up at 5:30 but thankfully only took a little encouragement to fall back asleep until 6:50.  By then Mommy was ready to get up too.  I stopped to brush my teeth so missed her first view of the tree.  I think next year I’ll have to start the, ‘You wait here while mommy checks to see if Santa came’ routine so that I can turn on the tree lights and also capture her first moments. 

We both enjoyed opening our stockings first and seeing all the neat treats Santa had packed in there. 

Hannah was happy when she received a new Tinkerbell LeapPad game, map and Princess Cupcake game from Santa.  The game was what she’d asked for often so she was extra excited about that!

The DVD player she watches in the car had broken so Mommy bought her a new one plus a fuzzy blanket to replace her favourite baby ones that are too short to cover my tall little girl now! 

What a treat it was this year when I found some wonderful little surprises from Hannah under the tree too!  Many were handmade and quickly became treasures!  She was so excited to give each one to me!

She made me this beautiful bracelet and then kissed Mommy’s hand when she put it on me.  Oh how she melts me!!

Encased in this beautiful handmade wrapping was a sweet Christmas tree made when her teacher painted her feet green and then she stamped on a star and painted a stem.  Must take a pic of that!

After the gifts were opened and before the cleaning crew of Mommy and Hannah arrived. 

We played her Princess cupcake game which is an adorable game for a 4 yo who enjoys playing with little, tiny things.

After breakfast we enjoyed our annual tradition of watching the Disney Christmas parade together.

Hannah and I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas morning at home together before heading to Mom and Dad’s for more excitement.  We hope you had a great day too!
