Christmas!

We had the best Christmas this year!  It was cozy and low key.  We only changed out of our PJs for a while when my parents came over. 

Kalista seemed to seemed to understand what was going on this year and opened her gifts.   She gets a little over stimulated doing it so she has to take breaks in between.  She loves crumpling up the paper and tossing it in the trash.

She got so many marsh mellows and bubbles....  we should be set for a while.  (((thanks everyone!)))   Some of her favorite things have been the ipad from grandma Helen and Papa (that she has been playing with for 2 weeks already)  the Apples and leather form grandma Jacque, lip gloss and nail polish from Kendal and Tammy and the best book ever all about Kalista from aunt Katie.  (pictures coming soon!)

It just makes me so happy to have a normal Holiday with no meltdowns.  I have been emotional all day because of  "normal" things.  I just can't even express how wonderful it is that Kalista is able to adapt to all the changes and excitement now.  It is the best gift I have ever received.  I feel like we can finally start our own traditions.   Amazing....

=) Ya, she and Grandma Helen are best friends. Maybe she is a bis spoiled.

I'm excited to see you too! I wish I could have had more time to visit with your mom when she was here. Oh well, a big hug was wonderful.
