Christmas Morning At Home

This year was again filled with travelling to different locations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We are very lucky to have our family so close and so even all the travelling we do isn't that bad. We still felt fortunate to carve out a few hours to ourselves on Christmas morning. I made pancakes and we settled down to open some gifts. We got Jillian five gifts this year (that's up from the 0 we got her last year). She got blocks, a pull telephone, a Little People mini van (that she still hasn't opened - it's under the tree right now) and two Roxy dresses that dad picked out. Jillian still doesn't quite get the opening of gifts. She liked to rip one or two pieces of paper, then she stopped. If she found a piece of tape it was all over - her attention could not be returned to the gift inside the wrapping. Maybe next year...
