Lydia's First Christmas!

Christmas morning we had to wake both Lydia and Nathan up. Lydia didn't really know what was going on, but she was very happy and enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper. We would help her open a toy and she was start playing with it and didn't quite understand why we were taking it away so she could open a different one.
Santa Claus brought Lydia the camp chair, hat, toothbrush (that she loved holding in the picture) and some other toys. Between Santa, my parents, and us, Lydia was spoiled rotten and probably has way too many toys.Lydia didn't know how to unwrap the presents so we had to help her. She does know how to take bows off though because she took the bows off most of the presents we had under our tree at home.
It was so much fun having Lydia around for Christmas. It is amazing at how much little kids change Christmas morning.Lydia liked the wrapping paper.Justin and I were pretty spoiled and got a lot of fun things! Lydia helped my mom open her gifts too.Nathan is at the age where he understands gifts and unwrapping them. Lydia gave him a thing of puff baby treats because every time we go somewhere he tries to eat hers. He loves them. He was pretty excited about getting them.
Daisy got a big bone for Christmas and Lydia is trying to take it out of her mouth. They do this all day long. It is so cute!
The Laraways and Shorts left to go to Salt Lake to visit the in-laws. Justin and I hung out at my parents a little longer before we all went to my grandma's for a Christmas dinner. My uncle had a candy cane in his shirt pocket and Lydia reached into it and pulled it out. She held onto it really tight and would get angry if someone tried to take it away. I finally got it away from her and opened it so she could taste it. She loved it.
I love this picture of her. It shows just how much she is really enjoying the candy cane.
We had such a wonderful Christmas! We are so blessed and so grateful for such wonderful families. I love the Christmas season and I am sad that it is over. It is such a wonderful time to reflect on the birth of Christ and to spend time giving and being with family! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
