Christmas Morning

It's the big morning!  Makayla came downstairs to see that Santa left her and Mylee some goodies.  She was so excited!  She doesn't miss a thing though.  She noticed that he at some of the cookies and left some half eaten.  She also checked his milk mug too.  She said Santa was hungry and thirsty.  We had her wait a bit before opening them to have breakfast and wait for the Grandparents and Auntie Som & Uncle Alan to show up.  Last year it was just us but this year we all pitched in for a big gift so they all wanted to see Makayla's face when she opened it.  You'll see the big surprise down below.

Santa really knows Makayla.  Her gifts were all wrapped in Disney Princess paper.  She's one happy little girl!  So wonderful to see her glowing like this.

Auntie Som is becoming a pro at making Ebelskivers.  I try to make a special breakfast Christmas morning, last year was crepes with strawberries and nutella and this year it's these little pancakes filled with bananas, jam, pineapple or whatever your heart desires!  We picked up the pan from Solvang and first knew about these Ebelskivers from my brother.  Almost every time we stay in San Diego at their place he makes this for us for breakfast.  They are yummy!  Everyone enjoyed them!

Makayla was already opening up a few gifts with Daddy and Uncle while the girls were making breakfast.  She got her camera from Santa.  She's so excited about it.  It's a neat one.  It takes photos, videos, has photo shop & games.  Pretty nifty.  He even got her a pretty pink case to protect it.  This was the perfect gift for her since she's a pro at using my camera.  Now she's got her own.

This was one of Mylee's gift from Santa.  Clothes just like she requested.  She needed some more long jammies for this cold weather we've been having.

Had to get this picture in from Auntie Som & Uncle Alan.  They got Mylee a pretty, pretty dress to wear to their wedding April.  Som is so good.  The dress color matches my dress that she made for me in Thailand.  I love that she's dressed us all for her wedding!   She's made my life easy peezie!  I do have to find shoes though.

Princess gets some her favorite Princess Aurora doll, a tiara & wand from Auntie Amy & Auntie Helen from Hawaii!  She's one special girl!

An aerial view of the mess.  I still can't get over how many presents my girls got!  It seriously was all for them since Ry & I didn't exchange gifts this year.  There wasn't anything we needed or wanted and it's just about the girls and kids now!

Oh the big gift from all of us was finally revealed!  Her very own kitchen!  These were her exact words when she opened it, "I've been waiting for this for so long now".  Can you believe my soon to be 3-year old said that?  Amazing!  Anyhoo, she is just thrilled with this gift.  She put on her apron and chef hat and was ready to go, but too bad Daddy & Uncle Alan still have to put it all together.

She's been wanting her very own umbrella since it's been rainy so I got her one.  Isn't it bad luck to open an umbrella in the house?

Well she took it outside and put her rain boots on and new Disney Princess sweater on from her friend Julianne over her jammies.   She's singing in the rain!

Yay, the finished kitchen!  Daddy & Uncle Alan worked hard on this one.  It took them almost 2 hours to put it all together.  It's beautiful!  She started cooking for us right away with all her plastic foods that she's had.  This is going to be a lot of fun for her and keep her quite busy.
