Christmas Morning

On Christmas morning - Gabe and I woke up first and had plenty of time to shower before hearing the screeching sound of Eli's door opening up, and then seeing his cute smiley face peeking around from the hallway asking "Is it time open the gifts?" Yes, i guess it was time to open the gifts. Not to mention we were supposed to be at my sister's house at 10am and it was already 8:45am. So i had to go into Cora's room and wake her up (which is very rare, she is usually wide awake and greeting me with a "MAMMA!!!") I gather her up along with her friends she takes to bed with her and bring her out into the living room to get started.

I took so many pictures, these are just a few of the fun moments.

Out of all the wonderful and sweet gifts Cora got, her favorite one was this cat book from Target from the $1 bins. Not to mention its kind of freaky... but she loved it.
Gabe's brother John (UJ) got us this incredibly beautiful handcrafted personalized tray. Some long time friend of ours make them umong other stuff. If you would like to check them out you can find their website at gatheringwood.com. Thank You So Much UJ!!!!!

This "AWESOME" toy was from Aunt Bethie and Uncle Kurt. Eli kept saying "No Way!" No Way!" I think he was a bit excited... Thanks you guys♥
This disturbing and repulsive "TOY" was from our ex- friend (she's still our friend;) Wendy. Eli (not to mention the rest of the kids) LOVE it. When i finally let Eli take it out of the box - neither him or Cora would touch it. It was pretty funny. When it moves it looks totally real - except its glowing red eyes... Worst Gift EVER!!!! But thanks all the same my dear friend ;)
Cora had a pretty snotty nose all mornng so alot of the really cute pictures of her you can see the boogies big time... I think your pretty safe with this one.. Cora got her own princess cell phone from Avery and a magna dootle from Great Grandma Pinion... thanks to you both ♥ She love them.

Eli got a learning lab top from us and here they are trying to figure it out......
We hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. More to come later ;)
