She slept under the tree on Christmas Eve (well at least until about 2 in the morning when I had finished putting all the presents around) and then in the morning she was so surprised to see all the presents under the tree! She wanted to Uncle Mark to help her open all of her presets. She had to sit right beside him on the sofa the whole time..and she had so much fun giving everyone there gifts and of course helping them all open them as well. I think she opened almost all of her brothers gifts. They were more excited about the paper and ribbons and Grandpa's new plastic BBQ tool haha. So cute!
Great Grandma was there and we all had such an amazing day opening gifts together and then me and El and went out to see the Hobbit as for his Christmas tradition of a movie on Christmas day. My brother stayed at home because he decided that he was going to make the whole christmas dinner. It was really great for his first time. The turkey had to be put back in the oven since it wasn't fully cooked. It was cold cause he decided to let it stand for the same amount of time it cooked. I definitely prefer warm out of the oven turkey. The whole dinner was good but a little too fancy for a transitional christmas dinner. It has too many complicated ingredients in it that kind of ruined it for me and I think or some other people too. (mom included) When you do stuffing it has to be in the turkey to get that good flavor, not done separately. But all in all it was a good dinner for his first attempt (and I think his last) lol.
