around 9am marni, pepere, daddy, bella and i began the festivities. i made a german apple puff pancake and pepere cooked bacon... it was a yummy breakfast. then we headed over to the family room to start opening gifts. i helped bella open her stocking first which was filled with foam bath toys~ they immediately became great objects for teething! then we tried to begin opening other gifts~ but just as everyone told us, she was much more interested in the bows and tissue paper than the actual toys... so i was glad that jason & i didn't go all out this year... we did get her this "little hippo car/toy" which she LOVES... marni & pepere gave bella her first cd player w/ lots of great cds since she loves music so much... and they also gave her a stroller for her dolls which plays music and she LOVES, along with some other goodies. afterwards we all cleaned up a bit and enjoyed relaxing. then around 3pm jane & jim (marni's sister & brother in-law who also live in decatur) joined us for a steak dinner at our home... then a little later our neighbors eric, karen & dylan blue joined us for coffee & dessert. dylan was born one day after bella and they have known eachother since they were first born. they had lots of fun playing and we adults enjoyed eric & karen's company too! it was a wonderful christmas!
