We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

Yesterday was Krisko Christmas.  It was the first time that we have celebrated Christmas on a day other than December 25th and I have to say, I am a fan.  It spreads out the fun of the Christmas season.  All day it felt like Christmas - we kept on forgetting it was not actually 12/25.

The day started out with a yummy breakfast with our (practically family) friends, Chris and Michelle.  Michelle cooked up an amazing breakfast and invited us as well as Chris, Lauren and cousins O and A over.  Gabriella was super excited to toddle head over.

Michelle's spread was fabulous and our breakfast together was a great start to the day.

After breakfast, we went to Church where we dropped Gabriella off in the nursery for the first time.  She seems to have turned a corner in terms of her comfort around other people and she did so great!

After a too short nap, we headed over to Krisko Christmas.  We tried to put Gabriella back down to get a nap in before the day kicked off but to no avail...she was just too excited to play with her cousins.

She got lots of wonderful toys and gifts and enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper, gift bows (well, okay - I maybe had a little fun with the bows) and her cousins.

With all the excitement (and less than 1 hour of total nap time for the day), Miss Gabriella was ready to head home and go to sleep.
