Waking up Christmas morning. . .


Well, we have certainly had a long day celebrating Christmas, but I really wouldn't change a thing. We woke up Christmas morning at our house and had the entire Cook and Herr clan over to watch M open up her presents from Santa.

Note to Santa: its very nice of you to spoil our 3 year old, but next time you don't need to bring so many presents!
She was exhausted opening up everything and at one point stopped to take a break relax in her new sleeping bag.

Some of her favorite presents were: Doll House, Dance Cam, Tag Junior and her sleeping bag. All time favorites included: Sippy cups, underwear, and ring pops. haha
Note to self: Yes, this years gifts could have cost us about $10 and we would have had an extremely happy child.


There were so many presents to open, so we took a short break to have some yummy coffee cake that the Herr's brought over. After all the presents had been opened we took round 2 to the Herr's. There we had even more presents to open up. Mckaley loved every second of it!
She especially liked getting to follow the red ribbon that led her to her very own pink motorized ATV!


She was a little squirrely on it, but I have to say a pretty good driver for a three year old. She will be ready to head up to the dunes with the Watson's in no time!


We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at the Herr's, playing cards, and having another great meal.



All in all, we had a wonderful time Christmas Day just being with all our family. Thanks to everyone who made it such a special day!
