Cora's first Christmas

Cora's first Christmas!
We may have one more year tops of sleeping in on Christmas morning. We didn't really begin to stir until around 10AM, and we didn't get out of our PJs until 2 or 3 (maybe later?) in the afternoon.
About a week before Christmas, I declared that we would each get the stockings this year that we would use from now on at our house. I already had Landon's, had picked out Cora's, and Landon was in charge of getting mine. Landon declared the selection too important to be completed in a week. Guess which stocking was mine? Guess which one was Landon's? Ha!

Landon came through wearing this sweater, thinking it was the one he wore for our tacky Christmas sweater party two years ago. No, Landon, that really is my sweater. Yes, I wore it last year. No, it wasn't a joke.

We laid Cora off to the side as we opened presents. Everytime we would open something for her, we would place it on her mat for her to play with. We opened packages really slowly this year - we opened one present at a time, we took a break for breakfast, etc. Normally, Cora goes down for a nap every couple of hours, but on Christmas morning, we let her "skip" her nap.

She played herself to sleep - it was exactly as Christmas morning should be!

We went to Troy and Beth's to see Amy's new puppy on Christmas Evening. Cora was the first time Amy had ever changed a diaper.
