Life in the Heald house: Christmas Morning

Christmas morning Matney woke us up and we headed downstairs around 7am. I don't think she knew what to do with all the gifts and toys on the floor. She was excited! We opened all our gifts and had a lazy morning. My dad got here about 11am and we had another round of present time before another yummy lunch. Those elastic waist pj's were great. The rule about Christmas pj's is that you stay in them Christmas Day...how wonderful!

Things sure change when you have a baby, including Christmas. Jared and I expected to not have much for us anymore but we were TOTALLY SPOILED!! For a year that has been pretty much all about Matney it was super fun to realize we had piles to open of our own...just being honest!

It was also lots of fun to watch Matney with all her her new things. Some of them were my favorites as a kid (like the Cabbage Patch doll from the Matney's and the huge Strawberry Shortcake from Kathy). I can't wait to see what she will like as she grows up!

We lost our camera about halfway through the day (buried under piles of stuff) so I'll have to get pictures from Mom. She had some cute ones of Miss M later in the day. My dad and Josh left around 4pm and we took Matney for a walk in the park since it was such a pretty day.

All of Matney's loot. Jared and I actually one bought one thing in that pile and the rest was from Grandparents, Great Grandparents, friends of the family and the rest of Jared's extended TX family. The UPS man stopped at our house a lot!

As soon as Matney sees my dad all she cares about is his IPhone. He downloaded a baby animal program and when Matney touches the screen she can make it make the animal noise. She LOVES it!
