Its christmas morning and , as usual, Im awake before Bean is.
I put together her water table ( her big christmas present ) , have some coffe made, breakfast is thawing out , and the camera is all charged up.
This is her'first ' christmas where she is begining to get the concept of the neatly wrapped gifts under the tree.
Next year, she will be up at 5 am instead of me. The anticipation keeping her from getting any sleep at all..
but right now, she is tucked into her little bed with her light yellow flannel throw blanket across her feet and het baby quilt that Cindy's mom made, wrapped in a ball on her shoulders.
I feel like a kid again myself. I woke up at 645 this morning. Earlier then I have been up in a long time.
I opened my eyes and the familiar flutter of christmas excitement that I had when I was a girl , pushed me out of bed. :-)
Im tip toeing around the house trying not to make a sound so that I can have some warm coffee and breakfast for Daddy and Gramma this morning.
Daddy cleaned out the living room, dusted , vacuumed and made it "" picture perfect"".
I have a pile of disks to take pictures, and hopefully I remember to do so, as I will be caught up in the whole 'opening of the presents' excitement with Bean.
This year, she got, - wodden puzzles. 5
Number books with the cute little animals on the front and a story of how each animal lives that teaches you to count. -4
Water table -1
A big hugging doll -1
Big cardboard puzzle that makes 2 diffrent animal pictures on the ground -2
and a bunch of other little stuff.
I wanna go wake her up!

But i wont. She will be up soon.
Merry christmas everyone else.
I hope you are having a happy morning as well.
