Christmas

I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas. Christmas at the James household was so much fun this year. It was great watching it unfold through a 3 1/2 year old. We had Grandma and Ye-Ye Ron here to celebrate it with us. Taylor had a great time. She loved getting her stocking filled with gifts from Santa and had fun going through it all. Her Santa presents were an easel and a small keyboard in the shape of a cats head with the keys being the teeth. Grandma and Auntie Linda got her, her very own kitchen full of food, pots and pans and dishes. She also got a princess dress which she could wait to put on. Has worn it every day since. Taylor loved the idea of getting presentes wrapped in pretty Chrismas paper. She didn't linger over her presents once each was opened. She Ooo'ed and Ahhh'ed and then wanted her next present. She would have been happy to sit and unwrap packages all day long. No big box this year for her to play with!!!

Taylor loved her stocking and all the goodies Santa left for her in it. My favorite moment....she got her own chapstick. Before going onto the next item, she gets down from her chair and goes into the kitchen to put it in the little box on the counter where I keep the chapstick among other things. Then she cam back, sat down and continued with her stocking.

All wrapped up in her new Dora blanket that snaps together and will keep her warm.

Her new baby doll from Grandma. She came with 9 new outfits. Taylor loves her dolls!!!!

In progress......

Wow.... a toaster from Uncle Rick. Comes with toast!!!!

The little princess.

Look, my very own kitchen.....a sink, oven/stove and a refrigerator.

Playing her new keyboard with Ye-Ye Ron.

Resting after a busy morning. My brother and his family gave us a canvas print of Taylor and I from our Gottcha Day last January. In the course of the morning, Taylor used it as a blanket to lay on and to lie under as seen here. Finally had to put it up before she ruined it. The imaginations of kids.
