Elsie Anne's First Christmas!

On Christmas Eve we went to our Church's Family Service. It was @ 3pm + was a narrative play of the Birth of Jesus. Our children's choir sang many songs + were dressed like Angels, sheep, Wise Men, Mary + Joseph, etc. It was the cutest production + made us think of Elsie Anne being older + doing things like this!

Santa Claus definitely stopped by the Fraser household...

As we walked down our stairs on Christmas morning, EA's eyes lit up as she realized things looked very different in the living room. She said 'Hay Daaare!' to everything she saw! Santa's gifts were sitting out w/ bows on their heads + she was super excited to get down + start playing immediately...Once we finally pried her away from her 'Radio Flyer Turtle' + 'Penguin' we each opened our stockings! EA just wanted to knaw on the candy cane (wrapper on) until we got her interested in what was INSIDE her stocking! She was so excited to see her first baby doll, 'Purple Baby' + studied her tiny fingers, ears + nose. Daddy helped EA open her first gift... Of course she just loved ripping into the paper + wanted nothing to do w/ the gift:)
She got a hammer + roll set, which takes an adult's extra strength to hammer the balls thru the whole, so I doubt she'll ever be able to. But she loved working w/ Daddy on it!

Boxes, Bows + Ribbons... so much fun play with!!!

Our day was so relaxing + chill! We stayed in our pajammas until late afternoon playing w/ all our new things!
We started a new tradition of sledding on Christmas Day, but it was short lived once we got out there in the howling winds + temperature in the single digits! At least we made the effort + got out of the house for a bit! Shawn also cooked us up a delicious Spiral cut Ham dinner, yummy!
