This morning Mikayla finally woke up and came out to the family room. I guess she still doesn't get the excitement of opening presents at an ungodly hour. I hope we can keep it that way, but I won't hold my breath.
I was nursing Calli when she came out and she went straight over to the milk and cookies (and carrot for the reindeer) we left for Santa. She was overly excited that they were almost all gone!
Once we were all settled in to start opening presents, Mikayla started getting moody. She whined and cried at every little thing. We finally sent her to her room until she had a happy heart. Calli, on the other hand, had a blast! She crawled around laughing and smiling at every little thing.
Finally Mikayla was happy enough to open her gift from "santa". When she opened her very large box she saw a handle on the top and thought it was a very large purse or a big hat. In reality...it is a bean bag chair. Ha! We all had a great laugh! She put the handle on her arm and carried it around the house like a purse most of the day though. Crazy kid.
Finally, I got a pair of pearl earrings from Matt. A year and a half ago, we went to Orlando, FL with Matt for a business trip. While we were there, we went to Sea World and got 2 pearls. One for me and one for Mikayla (Calli was not in existence ha) and we figured we would have 2 necklaces made. When we opened the oysters, the pearls were almost exactly the same size and color. We then decided they would make nice earrings. I have been waiting for Matt to have them made into earrings and the waiting paid off! I was expecting studs, but they are even better!
We had such a great family day, celebrating with my mom and siblings, Matt's parents again, and our little family.
