christmas 2010

christmas morning
Santa brought Maya this Cozy Coupe that she loves!
Whenever we go to pick up Kalia at school, if one of these is open,
she will run as fast as she can over to it and claim it for her own.
It is close to impossible to get her out of one of these!

Kalia discovers that not only did the reindeer eat the food & drink the water
and tear up the lawn- again, but one of them left a reindeer bell behind!!!

and her sunglasses from Santa

Although this year -opening present was much faster, (we did have a couple this morning left to open). Kalia still stopped to play and color pictures. We gave her a new set of markers and new coloring book.

Opening stockings

Maya gets play doh - which we tried out for the first time later.
Maya got Kalia the magic swirl play doh ice cream parlor and the
play doh ice cream looked so real, it was hard from trying some...

Kalia helps Maya open her big girl pillow!

OK- here's the story:
I guess when Erik asked Kalia what she wanted to get me for Christmas,
she really, really wanted to get me a Santa hat. It was very important to her and they went all over looking for one. So here I am modeling my gift from Kalia, that she picked out and wrapped for me:)

raincoats
You can also see the crib/stroller/bouncy seat that Santa brought for kalia
"Emily" was crying this morning and Kalia had to run and get her from her crib.

Maya playing with her dollhouse from Papa

Papa also go Kalia this tiara and since it looked just like Cinderella's, she then had to put on her Cinderella dress.

So then Maya had to put on her Ariel costume,
trying out her car.

Kalia dressed as Cinderella, playing with the Cinderella doll Auntie Lo & Uncle Vere sent her.

In her dress from Santa, pushing "emily" around the neighborhood.

I don't know if these videos work, but the first is Maya seeing her car & then Kalia seeing the candy cane (it's short) remember- that's what she wanted...

We had a really fun day hanging out and playing all day! Erik got a little surf in and we had a nice dinner together. I put martinelli's sparkling cider in the plastic champagne cups from Kalia's party - Kalia still doesn't like bubbles, Maya drank it up.
