Christmas Eve always starts out with Grandma & Grandpa Gorman joining us for dinner. This has been our tradition since before Kendall was born, and now instead of going out we have dinner here at our place.

After helping me make dinner, we all settle down to do presents.
After we say our good nights, Nate and I get down to business getting the tree ready for Christmas morning. This year there was not much Christmas Eve assembly required. Nate took care of that as he built Kendall a fabulous kitchen set - a replica of our kitchen. It is huge and awesome - and definitely a very cool Christmas present all stocked full of cooking utensils and food.

Once we got this all setup in front of the tree we could sit back, relax, and wait for Kendall to get up and check it all out on Christmas morning. Lucky for us, Kendall still doesn't really understand Christmas presents and doesn't wake up super early. So, on Christmas morning we all ambled into the living room to check out the loot - and got this video of her reaction. This is a long one.
This was not only the Christmas of the kitchen, but also of Rapunzel. Tangled is Kendall's favorite movie and she was thrilled to have her very own Rapunzel. She went everywhere with us for a while - and as a result, these pictures of Rapunzel are the best that will ever be taken. She is a bit worse for the wear now.
Overall, a successful Christmas morning.
We spent Christmas Day with the Greaney family enjoying a relaxing time at Grandma & Grandpa Greaney's. Kendall loved playing with Grandma & Grandpa and her Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Nothing like some quality family time to round out a holiday, and tire out a very active 2 year-old.
