Christmas in Delaware

After going to CT, we were back home for a little more than a week before we planned to drive out to Ohio and see my side of the family. We planned our at-home Christmas for just before we left for Ohio, and Santa made a special early trip to our house to drop off our gifts before we left. Here's what he left for R and RUS!

Here's R waking up in the morning and seeing her gifts for the first time. She still wasn't 100% sure what to expect about Christmas even though we'd been talking about both the Bible story and Jesus's birthday as well as the traditions we always do-- like decorating the Christmas tree and singing carols and baking cookies and exchanging gifts.R seemed to like just about everything she got. Here she is pulling things out of her stocking!
Obviously, the play kitchen was her big gift. She also got Candy Land, a LeapFrog Tag reader and a few books to go with it, and some play cookies for the kitchen. And there were the requisite socks, clothing, and other practical items thrown in there.

You can see her new cookies in the play kitchen picture below.
P.S. Oops, no pictures of RUS from his first Delaware Christmas! He slept through the entire thing, and I was holding him while wearing ratty old sweatpants and a t-shirt, so we just didn't think to take some photos! R was more than happy to help him open his gifts!!
