Christmas 2011 (part 1--stockings)

Kinzie was at the perfect age (10 1/2 months) to experience and celebrate her FIRST CHRISTMAS!!!! And what a fun and amazing Christmas it was!!

On Christmas Eve, we went to lunch and a movie with my family and then headed out to Arbon for dinner and to play games! We all opened 1 present there and got our new pair of pj's! Kinzie got these cute pink ones with Santa on them and reindeer feet!

We spent Christmas morning at our own home, attended our church, then went to Arbon for the rest of the day and had an amazing dinner of Shrimp and Chicken Cordon Bleu!!

We thought we'd have to help Kinzie open her presents a little bit, but she showed us and did it all on her own...I was shocked. It was funny though--we sat her on the couch next to her stocking and handed her a present. Richard was watching her while I was getting the video camera ready, and next thing I knew she started pulling paper off. I told Richard "Hey, I said not to let her start yet til I have the camera ready," and he replied, "I didn't do anything, she did it all on her own!" ha ha! Oh how she loves opening presents!!

She would pull the paper off in little strips, a little bit at a time, then hand the small piece of paper to Daddy--it was sooo cute!
Sometimes the tape/paper would stick to her hand...she didn't like that. She would pick it off (with a very worried look) or have Daddy get it off before continuing to open her present.

Yummy!

WOW! There's more in here!!!

She had fun pulling presents out of her stocking:)

"oh no, not more things for mom to put in my hair!"

Her own cell phone!

She loves bath time, and she loves books, so obviously she LOVES these BATH BOOKS!! (she now has 2 and we read both every night in the bath tub--pretty sure she has them memorized by now--she thinks so anyway)

Our stockings:)

Our tree:)

This was just a glimpse of how our Christmas morning began and some of Kinzie's stocking gifts. Guess I didn't take any pics of mine and Richard's stocking arrangments...oooops! Kinzie had a blast opening gifts, and now whenever she sees a present, she thinks she needs to open it (and tries to)! Such a Cutie!!!
