Life with the Leonard’s: Christmas Day 2010

I am a little late blogging about Christmas day but since I use my blog for scrap book journal writing too I wanted to make sure to write it down. This Christmas season has been one of the most magical since I was a kid. It's been so much fun watching LeAnne be so excited about Christmas

Around 4am I heard LeAnne hollering her drink was missing. When I got to her room she was pretty crabby so I gave her the drink and said go back to sleep. She later woke up happy around 6:30am. Since her room is right next to the living room, I showed her the stockings were filled then we turned upstairs to wake up daddy. Sensing her excitement daddy was outa bed in a flash. Once down stairs LeAnne found her gift from Santa, which was a Chugginton Training Yard Loop Set. She absolutely LOVES her train set and trains!!

While she was playing I passed out presents then daddy & I started opening our gifts to each other. My husband spoiled me once again! Thank-you so much honey!!

Once LeAnne saw us opening gifts she was all over opening her gifts. She was a bit overwhelmed with all her gifts. After all the gifts were opened we put in the Beauty and the Beast DVD she got from Auntie Katie. Auntie also got her a set of the movie characters so each time a new character was introduced we'd give them to her and she'd compare them with the TV saying :"match". We've now seen Beauty and the Best 4 times and she loves playing with the characters.

What is the saying... It isn't Christmas until someone cries. I made cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast thinking LeAnne would love this. Ha ha that is what I get for thinking. It was like absolute torture to get her to even take a bit. Ended up with her going to her room crying and the movie being paused. After a short while daddy sat down to have cinnamon roll with her and as I thought she loved it once she took a bite. "Tastes like candy"

Adorable moment alert... Christmas morning I was busy cleaning up the kitchen when I turned to see LeAnne totally naked, with her Christmas dress wrapped around her playing with her train set. Okay I think it's time to get dressed. hee hee!

Around noon we picked up Grandma Marcia and headed down Clear View Springs farm where we had a lot of fun with my sister and her family. It was one of the most relaxed Christmas celebrations I've had in a few years! LeAnn wore her cute Christmas dress and mud boots so she was ready to ride Buddy. All the food was yummy. Oh the prime rib...yum! Every time I turned around LeAnne had a handful of veggies from the veggie tray. I love that she loves vegetables.

Okay as I am typing this LeAnne is singing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, ABC Santa's sleigh, Santa's sled, Yeah" She is quite the little singer this year. She sings E (we) Wish you a Merry Christmas, and Jingle Jingle Little Bell a lot.

In fact here is a performance by Miss LeAnne Kimberly Leonard Wingnut Princess Pumpkin !!
