Christmas Morning 2011

While Christmas Eve was wonderful, Christmas Day with Alyse was just as fun. It all started in the morning when she woke up to her play kitchen and high chair. Although actually, if we are being honest here, it actually all started Christmas Eve 11-12 as Ben and I set up the highchair and play kitchen. (Or as Santa put them together, wink, wink.)


The first thing Alyse did when she saw the kitchen and highchair, besides get really excited, was make sure to feed her baby. She gave her a plate and then started cooking.



Cooking was a lot of fun for Alyse. The kitchen makes bubbling noises when you put the pot on the stove and the frying pan sizzles. She was very excited about that. And of course, everything had to have a little ketchup with it since Alyse loves to dip her food.


Alyse even made sure her baby had ketchup.


Along with ketchup, Alyse made sure her baby got her other favorite food, ice cream. Yep, baby had ice cream for breakfast after Alyse slaved away in the kitchen.


Alyse even tried out the microwave. She had fun putting in different foods and then closing the door. She didn't quite comprehend the idea of pressing the buttons to time it, but I think that was mainly because the microwave didn't have realistic sounds like the stove.


And after the kitchen, Alyse went back to her Little People Animal Sounds Farm from Aunt Stacey and Uncle John. When she discovered it had sounds she was even more excited to play with it. When she was done, she stuffed all the animals and the farmer in the silo. Still not sure why. 



Alyse got to open her present from us, a Duplo Legos set. There were plenty of gifts we wanted to get for her, but we thought it would be best if we started small, so hopefully when she is older she doesn't expect a lot of presents. 



Alyse was excited to use the legos, she just didn't get the idea of putting them together. She would watch Ben and I put them together and then she would play with them. Alyse loved all of her presents and was happy to have some time in the morning to play with them. The first Christmas morning that Alyse was aware for was a success just like Christmas Eve.
