Christmas 2006

Dear Caylee,
This was your first Christmas at home with us. All of your family and friends were so glad that you were here with us this year. You got so many great gifts from everyone.

We decided to let you open a gift early ( on the 23rd) you opened your keyboard complete with a mic. You had a great time opening it and playing with it.

On Christmas Eve we opened our family gifts. You “helped” every one un-wrap their gifts. You got the whole Backyardigan gang, a “Little People” horse and stable set and a new movie.

After we played with your toys a while we read the night before Christmas and you went to sleep.

When you woke up you went into the living room where Santa had left you A LOT of new toys. He left so many new toys that he had to move the furniture around to get them all out! When you walked into the room you saw the stuff on the chair first. There were books, coloring books and markers. It caught your attention right away. You ran up to the chair and said “wow cudders!” (colors)

Behind you were all of the other toys that Santa left you. You got a Shake and Go race track, a train, a Jump-N-Gym, a Mickey Mouse clubhouse with lots of Mickey and friends figurines to play with, a Mickey Mouse car and more!!!

You have had a great time playing with all of your toys this week. It’s hard to tell which ones you like the best. You play with them all. When you play with the race car set you like to say “WEEEEEE” and “ Set GOOO” (ready, set, go) You liked the train even better when you figured out how to use the remote control to make it stop and go. We love to watch you play with your Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. You just talk and talk and talk. You make the characters talk to each other, eat your play food and play hide and seek.

The week has been just a little crazy. Mommy had to go to the hospital on Christmas day and she had to stay for 3 nights. Today she finally got to play with you. She was so sad to miss Christmas day with you.

You got a little sick too, a stomach virus and a low grade fever. It did not seem to slow you down much. You still had a great time playing with all of your new toys!
