Christmas Celebrations

We spent Christmas this year in North Carolina with family. First, we went to Winston Salem. There, we learned a few things:
1) Ela has a knack for falling asleep right at the wrong moment. She fell asleep 30 seconds before we were planning to do presents, and 20 minutes into our visit to Tanglewood for the festival of lights. This does not, however, mean she's any better at going to bed at night...
2) If you need to entertain her, all you need is a cat and a piano. She spent half her visit following the cat around saying, "Kitty! Kitty!" and the other half at the piano flipping through music, singing, and banging on the keys.
3) She's not really into opening presents yet. When we finally got around to opening her presents, we basically had to force her to unwrap (she wanted to play the piano instead). I consider this a good thing, over all. :-)


Of course, once we got her to the toys inside she loved it!
After Winston, we went to Cary for celebration round 2. Ela wasn't please about wearing tights and having her hair in a pony tail on Christmas Eve, but she sure looked cute!

Her big Christmas present was a play kitchen, and she has spent hours playing with it since then.

So we all had a very Merry Christmas, full of lots of time with family, and plenty of fun.
