Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with my family. It was a fun-filled day with family, presents and food. What more could you ask for? It was the first of three celebrations that we were going to have so Clara was a little rusty in the present opening department but she remembered really quickly what she was supposed to do: rip, tear, squeal.

My parents got her an adorable kitchen along with pots and pans that she has been ready for, for a long time. She plays with it non-stop. Both Aunt Susan and Uncle Mark got her play food for the kitchen, so needless to say we have been having lots of strange, pretend meals - my personal favorite has been onion juice and steak and bread soup. I know you are cringing but that it pretty creative for a 21 month old! It was fun to see what everybody received and how they enjoyed what we gave them. Ella insisted on playing Twister and Clara loved every bit of it since she knew the colors Mark and Zane were calling out. Enjoy the video and slideshow below!
