We spent the first half of our Christmas vacation at Nana and Keith's house. We had tons of fun hanging out and playing games. One night, we went down to Bricktown for some delicious pasta and a walk to look at Christmas lights. It was a little nippy, but we bundled up Mia nice and snug. On Christmas Eve, Nana and Keith made a fantastic meal for us...ham, homemade mashed potatoes...the whole works. So yummy! I helped Mia set out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. As I put her to bed, I asked her whose birthday was on Christmas. She said, "Jesus!" and launched into singing a round of Happy Birthday. Santa is a fun Christmas tradition, but I want her to remember what's important as she gets older. When Mia had her picture taken with Santa, she told him that she wanted a Mickey Mouse movie and a Mickey book for Christmas. On Christmas morning, she came into the dining room and saw (among other things) a Mickey movie. She was happy but immediately asked, "Where's the Mickey book?" Oops. I guess Santa forgot that one. She didn't really care, though, and loved all of her gifts (especially her tent that looks like a princess castle). Mia had such a good time with everyone. I don't think she was ready to come home.
Couldn't find her one morning...discovered her perusing Nana's jewelry.

Let the ripping of the wrapping paper begin...
