Oh what fun! Tanith and her cousins had a blast this year with all the holiday activities. The girls all received some lovely gifts from Santa and their Aunts on Christmas Eve. Tanith especially loved her little baby doll and carrier from Aunt Helaine. She had so much energy that night our little party girl stayed up until eleven. I think she would have kept on going if we did not insist she go to bed. When she finally went to bed she had to have her new dolls with her.
On Christmas Day, Tanith woke us up around nine and was carrying her baby dolls around the house taking care of them (she has an amazing nurturing characteristic. Not sure if it is because she spent her first year of her life around babies in the orphanage, but she always gravitates to all babies and little kids. She is always hugging them and comforts them when they are sad...its a special gift.)
What did Tanith get from Santa...her gifts consisted of a Hello Kitty Electric Guitar, Microphone and Karaoke machine. It was so exciting to see her open the gifts. After she unwrapped each gift she said "open daddy, open", she wanted to start playing with them immediately. The final gift she opened was her guitar. She already knew what it was, just by the shape and screamed "guitar" and quickly unwrapped it. Later that afternoon we went to Rafa's cousins house and had a nice visit with the family and as always ate some wonderful food. Since there was no nap involved throughout the day, when we got home around six she was out...we went next door and hung out with then neighbors and Tanith slept on the couch. She woke up around eight and was ready to go again :). She got some lovely books from the Dudley's and tasty treats...like she always does when visiting next door.
What an enjoyable holiday and I cherished every minute. On Monday, after all the holiday's behind us, Tanith and mommy had some quality time. The weather was a beautiful 70 degrees and we spent the late morning outside riding a bike, playing with bubbles, a game of mini golf and we ended with some chalk art on the driveway. We also had a nice visit with Auntie Trish and she brought Tanith a very cute hat and matching scarf. Sad that the long weekend is over.
Here are some photos from Christmas Eve and Day.
