Then on Christmas Eve we headed up to Phoenix, hung out with my family, drank glog and watched bad television...
Christmas itself of course was the main event. Evie woke up to the booty from Santa... a new playground and (as promised) a new doll! After some awesome french toast made by Mina (aka my Mom) we, or rather Evie, opened all of the other presents under the tree. She did a very good job of being the elf... passing out and then opening everyone's presents for them.
Later in the day we went over to my Aunt Betty and Uncle Jim's house for the big Rimsza get together which is always a wonderful chaos. Evie was a bit shy at first but warmed up after awhile. Her favorite parts of the afternoon were my cousin's new dog and the Madeline doll and book my Aunt Betty bought for her.
Evie was so mobile and vocal it is hard to believe it is the same kid as just a year ago... but I imagine I will feel that way every year :)
