Let's start with Christmas Eve:
We all took it easy in the morning, stuck to princess' schedule but just relaxed. We told my mom we would get to her house at 2:15 to set up the Pack n Play for princess to take her nap at 2:30, so around 1 we started to get the car packed and give princess a bath. We got to my parents early and got baby all settled in for her nap. Well no one was helping my mom set up everything (Sis2 and her family were not there yet) so I help. We didnt have an excat plan of how to do things that I was aware of. I asked my mom that since I was helping if we could wait until princess woke up to do presents since she is 7 months and if she saw her other cousins opening gifts then she might understand a little. My mom agrees especially since I am helping. Sis2 is about 40 minutes later than the time asked to be there which wasnt a big deal really however this combined with my asked schedule change causes Sis1 to be a whiny complainy baby. The rest of us dont understand she used to be so easy going but now has to have everything her way. Well so she finally gets over it. We eat and baby girl wakes up while we are eating I fed her and it's present time. My sisters and I had all went and got pictures done with our kids and husbands for my parents. They LOVED it. I was so glad. I was so impressed with how princess did opening her gifts. It only took a little bit. She also pulled herself up to a standing position for the first time. After presents, we ate the cheesecake that I made , my first ever, it was yummy White Chocolate Peppermint. After that it was time to get home and get princess to bed.
Christmas Day:
We get princess up at her normal time, fed her then start with her stocking. She was so cute, taking things out exploring them before grabbing the next. We then started on her gifts. We would let her open one then play with it a while before we started on a new one. We had only got her 4 gifts so it didn't take long. She really enjoyed tearing up the paper. We had a nice morning just the 3 of us. At about 1:15, we left for my husband parents, we were supposed to get there at 1, so I was impressed that they didn't call and ask where we were. We had a nice time for there. They got me the Steam Mop l wanted and that was awesome! We sat down at 4 to eat, the time they said we would eat, and again I was impressed. While we were eating it started snowing and I was so excited. It was the perfect first Christmas for our Princess.
