Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year! It was great having everyone there and the fact that it was Millie Kate's first Christmas made it that much more special. She enjoyed playing with the gifts Santa brought her so much that shortly afterwards she was ready for her morning nap. She missed a lot of the present opening, but made up for it later at our house with Brian's dad and Bredt. Christmas morning we had our traditional oyster stew, breakfast casserole, and monkey bread for breakfast. It was so yummy, as always and this year I actually ate three oysters. Gramps was very proud. After breakfast we opened presents and then rested up for lunch. Then it we packed up and went home to have dinner and open gifts with Brian's dad. Millie Kate was really into the paper and bows and it was so much fun watching her rip into them and then want to play with everything she opened. She got into it a whole lot more then I thought she would. It was such a fun and memorable day and I was sad to see it end!!
