We didn't know what to expect Christmas morning. Would Maelyn even notice the presents under the tree?? We figured that our morning routine would be the same, but just in case, my Dad came upstairs to capture the morning on video. I am so glad that he did -- Maelyn noticed the presents right away and dug right in!
Noticing her trampoline for the first time...
She loved it!!
It took almost all morning for Maelyn to unwrap her gifts, although we did not go overboard. She took the time to enjoy each and every gift and kept saying 'oooh' and displaying looks of shock and excitement at each gift that was opened. She also regularly said her new and most favourite word -- mine! Within seconds of opening each gift, she would point to herself and very loudly exclaim 'mine!!!' We were killing ourselves laughing -- she was staking her claim to her new treasures.
We took a break from the gift opening to enjoy a yummy full breakfast -- sausages and bacon from the butcher a highlight of our meal.
Just after lunch, Auntie Kara, Uncle Cam and Jake showed up. Maelyn, who had been napping -- but wouldn't sleep at all -- shouted out for them and that was the end of that 'nap.' We were going to change her into her Christmas dress, but then decided that she just looked too comfortable in her Christmas PJ's to bother.

My Mom and Brian arrived later that afternoon and more gifts were exchanged. We ate, chatted and watched Maelyn jump on her trampoline. Then it was time for a delicious turkey dinner!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
