Christmas Eve was spent with the Cronon's. Before Jon's family came over, while Mackenzie was taking a nap, Mackayla and I had a photo shoot in front of the tree...
...she does love to pose...
..."Mom, where'd ya go?"...
...that turned into chaos as soon as I stood up! Mackayla got herself under the tree in record time. She waited all season to make her move. :-)
We bought Kenzie a DS this year. Trying to have everything ready, we took it out of the box to charge it.I thought I had put all the gift stuff away (b/c of course I was wrapping 2 hours before gift time), and let Mackenzie come downstairs after her nap. A while later, she saw the empty DS box and asked if it was her pink DS. I felt horrible when I told her it was her Nanny's, and she cried for what seemed like forever. I reminded her that Christmas wasn't over, and she didn't know what she would be getting. So Jon and I decided we couldn't just let her unwrap it and be done, we needed to really surprise her with it. So I wrapped it in one wrapping paper, then wrapped that again in a different wrapping paper, then put it inside another box (the box for a gift my parents had already given her), then wrapped that box.
I love her face when she finally got to the last wrapping, and saw her pink DS!Of course, the Phineas and Ferb game to play on her DS.
