Friday evening before we made our journey to western kansas we celebrated our own Christmas at home. We made a trip to our favorite resturant where they "cook on the table" (Kiku's Japanese Steakhouse) and enjoyed a great meal. Zoey loves that place. After they were done cooking, they will go around and toss a shrimp into everyone's mouths that is interested in trying. Zoey watched so intently and the chef could tell she really wanted to try, so they told her to shut her eyes and open her mouth....... he counted and pretended to toss and then I just dropped it in her mouth. She was so excited that she too had caught a shrimp!!
After coming home and giving the girls a bath it was time for opening gifts. Zoey was so giddy. Cadee was a little interested in the gifts but after she got some paper to play with she was more interested in just crawling around, Zoey didn't care, more gifts that she got to open.
For the whole Christmas season, all Zoey would say when she was asked what Santa was going to bring her was a "Dora blanket" So against my better judgement, and common sense (considering how many blankets we already own) I made sure that Santa brought a Dora blanket and she was thrilled. (here she is with her prize!) :)
What a blessed Christmas we had, it is so much fun to watch the excitment in their eyes. (Chris picked up this "popcorn" book for the girls, he remembers reading it so many times as a kid and really enjoyed reading it to Zoey that night)
