For Christmas Eve every year, we get each other a pair of new pj's and an ornament. We try to make sure the ornament represents something from that year. So, with Stella being born, you can guess what our ornaments were...
Our Pj's...
(Stella unwrapping hers, you'll see them revealed below for Christmas morning!)
Also, typically on Christmas Eve we make fondue. This is a tradition passed on from Mike's family and we absolutely love it. It's easy, quick clean up and so fun to sit around the fondue pot together. This year, we opted for appetizers instead and are going to do fondue for New Year's Eve (since we're now parents with no other plans :))
Our spread of appetizers...
Christmas morning!
We slept in and Stella took her morning nap with us. We got up around 10, I have a feeling next year will be different...
Santa came!
Christmas morning breakfast... mimosas, morning buns, bacon, eggs and lattes... yummy!
Not only did Santa come early for us, but he brought us a beautiful, white Christmas! It was the biggest storm in Philly in years - the mall even closed (the weekend before Christmas.)
Stella of course immediately loved the wrapping paper. It was her favorite present of all.
Stella's big present from Santa... the fancy, shmancy exersaucer. She LOVES it.
We had a great Christmas together this year and are so excited to head to Utah and see our families for some more holiday celebrations.
