Christmas Eve...

was spent at our house this year. We knew that getting through all of the gifts would take a while and I really wanted Handley to be able to enjoy the whole experience, so we decided to start our Christmas celebration that night. We ate yummy food, opened some gifts, and watched Handley play with a few of her new toys. She got a new baby doll set from Gigi and Papa and I know it was one of her favorite gifts. She must have spent at least 30 solid minutes taking care of her baby...putting it in and out of the stroller, infant carrier, and bassinet. She'd cover her up with the blanket, uncover her, feed her a bottle, give her the paci, feed her with a spoon, etc. The routine went on and on and it was fun watching how much she concentrated on what she was doing. I could tell she's going to LOVE having a real baby around to help with.
