Christmas Mayhem!!!

I will have a lot to say about this Christmas, but since these pictures are of DD opening her stocking and the Dinosaurs I will talk about Santa. Santa only brought DD 4 stuffed Dinosaurs ($20 total). They were not wrapped. They just had bows around their necks and a tag from Santa's workshop (same tag as on the LO, but with her name). They sat on the other presents which were also modest. DH and I were very tempted to go over the top this year. We told ourselves "she's only 3 once," "she's the only kid," and "She's just going to love ____ so much!" But when all was said and done we restrained. I think its more important that she not start bad habits of overindulgence (hers or ours). Besides, Once you add in stuff from grandparents and other family members, she made out like a bandit!!! I love that she took her time with each present and played with each one. It took us 2.5 hours...we really we able to savor the experience. In reality DD is so not used to getting "Stuff" she seemed to welcome taking breaks to play or eat...as opposed to ripping though everything in 2 seconds flat. That may change as the years go on, but I can say this year was such a pleasure.

Ps. It was a little early when we all woke up...Sunny wasn't quite ready for all the commotion. Can you see her sleeping on my leg in the top photo? She has already grown so much since then.
