This year was awesome. Kaylie didn't completely understand the concept of Santa but when she walked down the stairs and over to the tree all she did was point at all the different things and say "look" over and over again. You couldn't have asked for a better response than that. Since Santa brings his presents unwrapped it is easy to see what he brought. This year his big gift was a play kitchen. I am guessing by the gift Kaylie was definitely a good girl this year. He also brought her many accessories for it as well. She got a toaster and a mixer. He brought her a few other things which of course she loved as well. One of which was a dog that growls when you pull on his rope. He immediately was taken to her kitchen to have breakfast.
After playing with the presents Santa brought and opening stockings we took a break for breakfast. It was so nice to sit down as a family and enjoy the beautiful snow flakes coming down outside. This is the first white Christmas I can remember. Having grown up in Illinois I am sure it happened but this is the first I remember. We enjoyed every minute of it.
After breakfast we opened the presents we had bought. I must have been a very good girl this year because I was blessed with an absolutely amazing new camera. This post is all from my old camera and the rest are with my new one. I am still learning so don't be too surprised if you can't tell the difference. That is what a class or two is for.
Overall, we had a great time. Even the dogs loved what they got. It has been awhile since they got any new toys so they were happy. Combine a new toy or two with the snow outside and they were two happy little puppy dogs.
Coming down the stairs yelling for her daddy.
I loved her Dora jammies. I refused to put them on her until the night before.
We have all the presents for all of our family members under here. These are not all for us.
Her favorite thing to do was turn on the Christmas lights. It was a little hard for her to get to this time.
First toy she saw from Santa. She loved it.
Feeding a piece of toast from her new toaster.
It took her a second to realize what was in front of her but once she did she had to open every draw/cabinet to show us what was inside. She was very excited about her knife.
She knew what to do with everything. The burner makes a sizzling sound so she took out the fake eggs and made us breakfast.
The microwave and oven also makes noise. By the end of the morning she had cooked Meow Meow in both. I don't think he appreciated that very much.
Immediately after this picture was taken her puppy ended up in the sink.
One of the things Jason found for her was this incredibly soft pink back pack that holds a dog in it. She loved it. She wanted to wear it everywhere.
She did not want to let us open our own stockings or our own presents. It was a good teaching moment. 
Right after we gave the dogs their gifts they switched. Shiner is in love with Bailey's fox. So in love with it he had found where it had been hidden pre Christmas and came out running around the house with it. This is a dog that is too smart for his own good!
Taking a break for breakfast before opening the family presents. We weren't sure but we thought Kaylie might give up unloading the dishwasher to play with her kitchen. After a few seconds she realized what she was missing out on and ran to help daddy.
I think she made this face because daddy was opening up a dolly for her to play with.
