Belle's 2nd Christmas!!

I wondered how Belle would react to her 2nd Christmas compared to last year. Last year she didn't really get excited about much. She loved to play with the crumpled paper and not really the presents themselves. This year she loved the presents and not really the paper. While she'd uwrap the presents, we all got pretty bored with watching her. She'd rip a little piece off, bring it to you, go back for another and start over. My mom has the right idea and just bought a Santa bag with her name embroidered on it. After getting home late on Christmas Eve, Nic and I totally copped out and didn't wrap anything.

She must of been nice this year, cause she made out pretty well. We made our rounds through the parents houses over the weekend and collected her loot. She got a Little People Dollhouse, Pottery Barn Chalkboard, cardboard blocks, new books and dvds among a ton of other things.

Her favorite gift from Nic and I was certainly her play kitchen. It had a phone that made sounds and she'd just walk around talking on her phone and cooking. It was hilarious, she'd be babbling along, cooking on the stove and making hand motions. Do you think she watches us?

Are you wondering what I got for Christmas? Nic got me a really nice necklace from Julian & Co and I got him a Colts sweatshirt. I also decided to buy myself a Christmas present, a Nikon D40. My parents also decided to get one. And after seeing my parent's camera, Sara decided to get one. Now whats really not fair is that they both have their cameras and I have nothing. Hey, I wanted one first! I think I should finally have one tomorrow though. Gotta love UPS and the holidays.

These pictures were taken with my parents camera on Christmas morning.
