We finally got all the decorating and presents wrapped for Christmas. After a while, the tree didn't look so funny with its cage around it and Elise enjoyed another object to pull up and stand on. Daddy and I told her all about the big day that was approaching.
Elise was eager for the festivities!
On Christmas Eve, Grandma and Grandpa Kaiser, Aunt Amy, and Uncle Chris came over to our house for dinner and presents. Elise donned her 'babies first Christmas' Santa outfit and enjoyed being called 'Miss Claus'. After a dinner of garlic mashed potatoes and beef tenderloin, among other things, Elise got to open her presents. She enjoyed carefully unwrap
ping each of her gifts. Some of her favorite gifts were her Fisher Price lion riding toy, red wagon, and ball popper.
On Christmas m
orning, we drove to Medina to spend Christmas with Nana, Poppa, Uncle Rik, great-grandmother Granny, Uncle Kevin, Rachel, Amelie and Santa Claus! Before opening our gifts, the 
doorbell rang and there appeared Santa Claus! Luckily Elise wasn't afraid to visit with him this time. Santa gave Elise a Tickle-Me-Elmo. After dinner, Elise opened her remaining gifts-- a sled, Leap Frog musical table, blocks and other goodies.
All-in-all, the Christmas season was a ton of fun! What can we say, Elise loves a good party! Hard to believe all this gift opening is just a warm up for her family birthday party next weekend. Our little girl is about to turn 1!
