Another tradition that we have is to be able to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Izzy was much more interested in the box....at first...

but she ended up loving her school bus

We got a REALLY late start on Christmas Day. We had breakfast first, and then walked Murphy, and it wasn't before noon that we opened our first present I think. I love lazy days, and I'll treasure this Christmas, because we might not be so lucky in the upcoming ones! :)



It's a little sad that I didn't get more photos of Izzy opening gifts, but I was so focused on the video camera that I completely forgot! Que terrible!!!!
This is the "big" gift for Izzy....she LOVES this little kitchen!!!

We also got her a vacuum. Now, I gotta say that I feel a little bad buying her things like this because I might be reinforcing gender roles (yeah, call it the feminist in me), but she does love these things! And we got her the vacuum because she's been trying to vacuum with us every time we bring it out. Now she can get her own!
Here she is skyping with her farmor and farfar in Sweden
I'm so thankful that we got to spend this time together as a family. I hope everyone else had a very Merry Christmas!!

Jenn,
I love Izzy's new kitchen! And don't worry about the gender thing, as long as Joacim continues to use it too, I don't think your compromising your "feminist" side at all! Glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas!
