After we woke up, we decked ourselves out in holiday jammies before heading downstairs to open presents.
Maddie was still a bit sleepy, but was definitely surprised to find a new kitchen and dishwasher in her play area! She wasted no time in getting to work on some laundry.
We all opened the rest of our presents and Maddie was much more interested in tearing off the paper this time than she was during December Christmas!
Later in the day, Dakota made an amazing Christmas feast (turkey "thing" with stuffing and mashed potatoes!) and we were joined by our neighbors for a lovely Christmas dinner.
It was a fabulous day and a great start to a new (and quirky) family tradition.
What about the candy???!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too funny. I love it! Although I can't imagine putting on those flannel pj's in this heat. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteOh, there is candy! It has to live in the fridge, though. Maddie loves it - she stole a piece and then ran away, with chocolate melting all over the place.
ReplyDeleteWe took the pj's off as soon as we were done opening presents. It was 7am, so not too bad. But there was no way we were lounging around in those!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! What a fun tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! And she is just adorable with her new toys.
