The evening started off with a turkey dinner (delish!) and then proceeded with cookies, present opening, and a half-hearted attempt to put our hyper little Christmas girl to bed. It was clear that Ayla had firmly decided that she wanted to wait up for Santa, so we let her stay up until 10:30 before packing her up and taking her home to her own bed (where she promptly fell straight to sleep).
Telling her great-Opa a story
The highlight of the evening was opening her present from Uncle Scott & Auntie Corrine....
A sled!!
Christmas morning was spent in our own little living room with our own little family. It was a nice little 'oasis of calm' amidst the frantic rushing that seems to so often characterize the season. It's moments like this that make Christmas truly feel Christmas-like.
Starting the morning off right ;)
And this was only just the beginning....
