PRESENTS!!!!

While our tree has been up for a couple weeks now, there haven't been any presents underneath it. We started doing this a couple years ago, and it was great to see the wonder on the kids' faces on Christmas Eve when we pulled them all out, already wrapped, and let them distribute them under the tree.

Well this year, there was the added reason - our little one year old LOVES presents, and we had a feeling she wouldn't be able to leave them alone if they were out the whole time.

Sure enough, within minutes of the first presents finding their home under the tree...



...they became a jungle gym, perfect for climbing! And for some reason, the lights, which we had worried about initially and Danee surprisingly left alone, became the hot new item to play with!

Then she realized that the presents she was climbing on were similar to the ones she opened a couple weeks ago for her Birthday, and you don't need a caption to hear her saying "Oooooooh!!"



And yes, she was very happy with her new discovery!



First of all, this ribbon would be MUCH better in Danee's hands than around some box!



And this bow? Mmmmmm, Purple is my favorite flavor!!



TIME OUT FOR LIGHTS!



And finally, some Multi-Tasking - Lights AND Presents!!



And now she's napping, with visions of sugar plums, or more likely, sugar cookies, dancing through her head...

Merry Christmas, Little Daneekins!!
