Christmas Morning

Kiera was so excited to get the morning started that she woke up at 5 am.  Unfortunately, that meant that when we were getting started with opening presents around 7:30, she was ready to go down for her nap!  Despite that minor detail, it was a great morning.  Nana and Colonel were both there and there were oodles of fun new toys - only some of which are pictured.

So high!!

Before Christmas Deenesh took Asher shopping to buy a gift for his sister.

"Mommy, Kiera's a baby so she can't open her presents.  I can
open it for her."  Asher gallantly volunteered to open every one
of Kiera's presents for her. 

And while I was skeptical of their choice - a dog with a control (attached with a nice long strangulation hazard) Deenesh and Asher had dreams of Asher walking the dog and Kiera playing beside it (and eventually, crawling! beside it.)

"Hmmm...What is it that my brother has there?"

 Turns out they were right.  She LOVED it.

"Yay!  A puppy!  For meeeeeeeee!"

"I love you puppy!  I love you!" 

"Let me try!!" 

"I'm GORGEOUS!!"

"Why hello again puppy.  I loooove you" 

"Ah!  It's just too intense!  Thumb in mouth!"

 And introducing....Super A and Super K!!

Technically these photos aren't from Christmas morning, but due to
a wardrobe malfunction we didn't get any good photos until later.
And yes - I  made them myself!  Yeah, I bet none of you ever thought
I could/would do something like that!  Yay me!
