Matt and I had our first real Christmas playing Santa. It felt strange, but good, to be on the other end of the magic. As real first timers, we started assembling toys at 11pm. Not a good idea. The kitchen alone took 3 hours. And, we forgot to buy batteries! While Matt was busy putting the toys together, I encouraged him from the kitchen as I made a few pies, and made preparations for our Christmas morning breakfast. This is how our living room looked once Mr. and Mrs. Claus went to bed at 3am. When I was little I never understood why my mom and dad were so sleepy on Christmas morning...now I know!
I love this picture for so many reasons. This may sound strange, but what I love most is that it is out of focus. When Kate saw her toys, she was so excited that she ran into the living room, and I was still getting my camera set up! I also love it because of the look she is giving me. She ran into the room, stopped, and then just stared at the sight before her. Then very sheepishly looked at me, and slowly got the cutest smile on her face when she realized it was all for her. I am glad I have that memory persevered in this photo.
Kate and her Boe Boe checking out her Radio Flier Trike.
I think I could get use to this!
My two loves.
I think she loved opening her stocking more than anything.
Love this baby face. And those kissy lips? Don't get me started!
My baby, with her baby.
Imagination is a great thing.
It was a nice little Christmas in the new Taylor home.
