Christmas Morning/day was so much fun this year. Lily now being at an age where she understands and enjoys the season has been a such a blast! We spent the night over at my mom's house Christmas Eve so that we could spend Christmas morning with the rest of the family and so that they could all watch the girls open up their gifts.
Lily stayed up Christmas Eve night until after 10:00pm. Then auntie Mel carried her upstairs to sleep in bed with her (Mel the next morning told us that she didn't sleep a wink because Lilyana kept kicking her and snoring sooo loud! haha! She takes after her dad!) The rest of the adults stayed up a little later to finish stuffing the stockings. 
Alex let us sleep in until almost 8:00 the next morning. We were all so exhausted and I would have went back to sleep if she would have let me! Mel and Lily woke up soon after. Mel said that as soon as Lily opened her eyes she whispered excitedly, "It's Christmas!" What a cutie! 
Once everyone was downstairs, we all went into the family room and took turns opening presents. Lily was so excited about everything. Her favorite part was ripping off the paper. She had to make sure every little piece was torn from the gift before she would look at it. Every time she would unwrap a gift, she would say, "It's my favorite!" Alex lost interest in unwrapping after a couple of presents.
She loved getting into everyone else's stuff and playing with the wrapping paper. After we had all opened our presents, Grandpa Cordova got a call on his cell phone from Santa Claus. That got Lily's attention right away. She kept trying to grab the phone away. Santa told Grandpa that he left a gift downstairs for Lily. Lily's face lit up and her eyes got so huge when Grandpa told her what Santa said. We all went downstairs and Lily all but flipped out when she found a brand new pink kitchen for her to play with along with a letter from Santa.
Lily wasted no time opening up the cabinets and getting out all her new dishes and food and pretending to cook for everyone. After letting her play with her new kitchen for a little while, Michael and I took the girls home to have our own family Christmas and open the rest of our presents. I thought Lily might be burnt out, but truth told she couldn't wait to get her hands on the rest of her loot.
I have never seen a child go through presents so fast! Michael was happy with all of his new Raiders apparel and I was extremely happy when Michael surprised me with my scrapbooking table! I can't wait to get started! It was no surprise that both of the girls fell asleep shortly after. After waking, we all packed everyone back up and drove back over to my mom's house for Christmas dinner where we were joined with more friends and family. 
Lily kept sneaking into the dessert pies and stealing the pie servers and licking them. Little stinker! At the end of the night, the girls were so exhausted they were out cold!
This Christmas truly was fabulous and all I dreamed it would be. I only wish that it would have been possible to be together we all of our family. We really missed them all this year. We hope that everyone had a great Christmas as well and I am really looking forward to the start of a new year and all of its wonderful possibilities!
