a new book that is made of foam...
SUPER cute outfits...
and a neat ornament that Grammy talked into and recorded her voice. Ariel loved that, and she got one that she has to talk into to send back to Grammy. Awe!
At 830am Ariel woke up and we did our stockings. Ariel was really into it this year. We didn't have to prompt her much to pull things out. She seemed really excited about the new Cd's.
Then Nana, Papa, Mike and Josee came over for brunch and presents. It was strange not having Dad and Rita there, but times change as families get bigger. Ariel still had a good time!
She also got some neat gifts under the tree. The doll cradle I refinished for her, and sewed all the new bedding for turned out so well...
then turned into a bed for Ariel!
Then Ariel unwrapped what turned out to be the hit of the day! The Elmo that sings... also known as the 'creepy toy' I mentioned weeks ago. Yes, this toy is just plain weird, and Ken said if he wasn't a Muppet, he wouldn't be in the house.
Hahaha. I had to grab a video of this guy, because you just have to see what I mean... look deep into his eyes.... you are getting sleepy!
Don't you think his eyes lighting up is weird? Or is it just me? I think its kinda like its possessed or something, but what can you do when your kid loves it? Oh well, we love you too Elmo.
Ken gave me a super cute Quatchi doll! He is one of the mascots for the upcoming Winter Olympics that is being hosted here in Vancouver in 2010. I think he is soooo cute. Even Mike commented that he would like one. Hee.
After our guests left to head off to other events, we welcomed friends Maureen and Darrel and their kids Andrea and Tim into our festive circle. The kids brought Ariel some cute cars and she was thrilled! The kids played and we had a nice little visit. Its hard to believe a few years ago both those kids were Ariel's size. Time flies.
We had dinner at Nana's, leftovers from our turkey on the weekend. It was nice and simple, which is always good after a busy day. Ariel brought along her new friend, she loves to hug Elmo. She then ate a full plate of food, and we all watched her as she showed off her cutlery skills. Pretty impressive indeed, as she is so steady with each bite of food.
We are now home again, enjoying the peace. Not much planned tomorrow, no crazy shopping for me. We will finish presents over at Dad and Rita's tomorrow evening and have a yummy prime rib dinner. Yay. Now, I plan to hit the hay pretty early, that is if my daughter will let me.
