Woo hoo! Arabella had an outstanding Christmas. So much joy. So many toys!
This Christmas turned out to be another instant classic 😄
We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve and had a lovely dinner there. After dinner we had some sweets and watched Bella open her presents.
Once she opened one, she had to open them all. She simply couldn't help herself! 😂 Here she is with Uncle D checking out her new hockey set:
When we got home later that evening we left some cookies and milk for Santa (and a carrot for the reindeer) before taking Bella upstairs to bed. On Christmas Day she came downstairs with Mom and saw the mountain of toys waiting for her under the tree.
There's no better feeling than watching her enjoy that moment. It was like magic.
Look how blessed you are, Bella! She had such a blast tearing away at the wrapping paper. One present after another. Would it ever end? 😂 Most of Arabella's gifts under our tree were from Kiera's mom, who had been shopping and stashing gifts aside since September. Thanks Nana - you're too much!
The rest of the day we relaxed and watched Bella enjoy her new toys. Then on the following day we went to visit Kiera's side of the family.
Arabella had the best time with her cousins. Usually she's very shy and timid, but on that day she was interacting with everyone and proved to us that she's a very big girl. Here she is with Aunt Nikki and Uncle Nigel:
And the entire gang, including her cousins, uncles and Nana:
