The Beltran Chronicles: Christmas Morning

Christmas this year was truly fun - it brought me back to when we were younger and we couldn't wait for Santa to arrive. This year Izzy didn't have the anticipation because she didn't really understand the whole Santa thing, but Gerald and I sure did! We stayed up late getting everything ready and were both up early for Izzy's big reveal. Gerald and a groggy Izzy came down the steps and before there was even time for a morning snack, Izzy was playing with her kitchen and "cooking" food for us. She loves the new kitchen that Santa brought her!

Of course she got a TON of other gifts too - so much so that we spread present opening over several days - she could only handle so much at one time. After breakfast on Christmas morning, we opened her new set of Pixar books and read a few stories - Cars, The Incredibles, etc. That's going to be a set of books that Mom & Dad like as much as Izzy does! ;-)

Izzy got in on the action unwrapping Gerald & my gifts too - she really loves to rip-off the wrapping paper. By the end of the long weekend, she was a pro! Come March when she turns 2, we won't even have to tell her what to do!
