Christmas Day

We had a relaxing Christmas Day. We woke up when Shayla did and the best part was seeing her reaction when we walked downstairs. She just looked at us like, "What are those toys doing there? They weren't there before!" After a minute she decided she would get out of Jon's arms and investigate.

She immediately went for the shopping cart and tried to drag it somewhere. (My only guess is that she was afraid we were going to take it away. I'm not sure why, we don't take toys away from her.)

I promise you it was like she was trying to keep it away from us though. The other funny thing that she did was sit on all of her toys at first while we opened presents. I guess she thought if she sat on them they would be safe.

You can't really tell in this photo but every time I took out a new toy she would promptly put it under her little tushie. Silly girl. It took awhile to get through all of the presents just because she was so distracted by each new toy. Usually as soon as one was opened she would stand panting until it was out of it's packaging.

A big hit that day was a puppy who barks and walks. She kept picking him up and giving him kisses. It made Jon and I feel a little guilty that she doesn't have a pet. She also likes to stare out the window at all the squirrels around. When one happens into our backyard she stands at the glass door and shrieks at them pointing saying, "That! That!" Cute girl.
