Christmas Day

On Christmas after we opened gifts at home, Annalise, Stan and I traveled to Easton to visit with his sister and her family. Annalise had a blast opening gifts. I can honestly say that she doesn't really seem to care too much about what is inside of the gifts, she just loves to rip off the paper. As soon as she gets the paper off, she wants another one! Once there are no more to open she gets interested about what is inside each one.

Notice the cookie thief is also in on the action...he also loves to steal bows.

Just like her birthday, gift opening is very serious business =)

Tearing through the paper

In addition to opening gifts, checking out new toys is also very serious business.

Anna also loves this dog...probably a little too much
