I think this year may have been my favorite Christmas of all time. James and I really wanted to establish some Garcia family traditions this year, and I think we are off to a fine start!
On Christmas Eve we ate chili and grilled cheese sandwiches before heading to the Lessons and Carols service at church. After church we came home and Cadence opened up her Christmas pajamas present and we watched "Twas the night before Christmas" as a family. Then we read her the story of Jesus's birth before bed, and we planned to watch "Love Actually" with some hot chocolate and popcorn once she was asleep. Unfortunately she didn't go to bed until 11, and then woke up at 2, so we nixed the popcorn and I ended up going to bed an hour into the movie while James slept through the rest of it but woke up for the last 15 minutes.
Christmas morning we woke up and opened presents. The haul this year was:
Me: Loft jeans, Eddie Bauer puffy vest, Cinderella opera tickets, a Scrabble board journal, a Kitchenaid Mixer, "Brave", gum, a Nicholas Sparks book, lottery tickets, and Lindor truffles
James: Stability ball, ear warmer, Duke/Kentucky book, Vitamin Water,
Cadence: 3 books, basketball hoop, Christmas PJs, Cinderella, socks, The Lion King, and a box full of tissue paper
Lilypie First Birthday tickers
