Christmas Day

Brea decided to let us sleep in until 630 am on Christmas morning! Apparently the Christmas Eve festivities wore her out as she normally is up at 5 am each morning. We let Travis sleep in for awhile and then began opening presents. Travis and I AND Santa went overboard this year for Brea but we couldn't help ourselves. Even though we know she won't remember it we were so excited for her first Christmas. We had to open her gifts in shifts as in the middle of it she decided she was hungry so we had to take a break for rice cereal and peaches!! She received a lot of really neat toys that she loves. One of her favorites is a crawl ball which rolls on the ground and encourages her to crawl after it. So far she will pull herself up on all fours but has decided it's easier to just roll over in order to get around. After we finished presents Travis' parents came over and we had a nice Christmas lunch and lounged around most of the afternoon watching movies and the football game Christmas night.

Christmas Eve

This year we enjoyed a pretty low key Christmas as it was just the three of us and Travis' parents. On Christmas Eve we all went to the 5:00 service at church which is new for Travis and I. Normally we go to one of the later services but decided the earlier one would work out better for Brea. It was also the children's service and Brea actually enjoyed the "puppet show" sermon! After church we went to Travis' parents for soup and homemade bread which is one of their traditions. We opened gifts from his side of the family and Brea got her first pair of Christmas pajamas. Every year she will get to open a present on Christmas Eve which will be pajamas for her to wear that night. We ended up staying at his parents until about 9pm and all 3 of us crashed when we arrived home.
