Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we go to my grandparent's house to eat our fill of lobster tails, shrimp and pasta. This year was no different. We were partially comatose after the lobster, which was the first round of food and had to spend some time on the couch before moving to round two. Here is a picture post-eating during Makaela's first Christmas in NY.This year, during the gift opening, Makaela was finally able to appreciate the toys. So much so that once she opened a gift, she would be so enthralled with it, she wouldn't move onto the next one. We were practically forcing her to open the rest of the gifts. It was great watching my brother Mike teach Makaela how to dress her new Barbie. Of course she ended up following him around all night, asking him to continually change Barbie's clothes. She also had him playing piano duets with her. She definitely had him wrapped around her finger.
