Tori's first Christmas

Christmas season started with pictures with Santa! As my sister and Shawna and we were getting out of the car at the mall, some random told us not to bother. Santa's elves were having computer problems, so the line was forever long. We agreed to eat lunch first then go check it out. We got to Santa while he was at break, but decided we'd wait it out. Yay, he came back! First kid goes...computer stops working again! But this time it was fixed much quicker. But by now, Tori's getting tired, so any chances of a smile were shot. Still a cute picture.

Later, I was wrapping presents while Min was out one day. Tori decided to help me. She's not so great with the tape yet...

On Christmas Eve, we went to church. We switched out the usual midnight mass for the 6:30 mass. After that, we went to dinner at Bash with Min's family. After such an exciting night, we had a sleepy baby on the way home.

Yay! Christmas morning. She didn't do as good with even the wrapping paper as I would have thought. But she still really loved all of her gifts. She was interested for literally a second, then decided it was too much work. But here are a couple of Christmas morning pictures.

These were her gifts from us.

We went to my sister's for breakfast. Shawna got a Zhu Zhu pet that Tori did NOT like. :( It came towards her. She pushed it away with 2 hands, screamed, and ran to Min. She kinda dug Tim's new socks, though! She got a Little People dump truck and SUV and a play phone from Aunt Denise and Uncle Tim.

Then off to mom and dad's for Christmas dinner. And more presents!!! She hasn't figured this out completely yet, but she got a cool walker toy. As well as some fun blocks and a xylophone.

We had a great turkey and ham dinner. Tons of desserts. Of course, Tori ate anything and everythign we put in front of her. Except for the second bite of watermelon. She spit that one back out at me. I guess she didn't like it so much...

All in all, Christmas was great!
