Christmas Morning!

We were not our best at taking pictures this year. It was so much fun enjoying Jules excitement at Santa's appearance that we both kind of forgot about the camera and just enjoyed the moment. We did catch a few shots though:

Love you baby!

 Her first gift from Santa!

She had no idea what to make of the puppet set she got as a gift...

still working on that one.. so far she's not having anything to do with it.

She does however love her new telescope!

She got her first chia pet and love(d) it to the end.. tragic story following in another post...

there were a few books, a movie and an outfit but for the most part, we tried to stay simple.

Her best was her telescope though.

Our little star gazer was so excited when she opened it up!

(Daddy rocked gift ideas this year!) 

It was a wonderful Christmas morning.

The joy she had upon waking up.

She was so excited she was dancing at her door.

When I took down her baby gate, she bolted down the dark hallway straight for the living room.

'Santa's been here! Santa's been here Mommy!'

I told her we had to go wake Daddy so he could see too!

She tore off to wake him, drug him out of bed with high pitched squeals of delight!

Lots of laughter and happiness found Christmas morning!

It's good to have such love and joy in our lives.
