A Talac Christmas

This Christmas was so much fun! Riley was into it from the start...here are some of her favorite things about Christmas as a 2 yr. old:
-Singing Christmas songs...Holly Jolly Christmas, Jingle Bells, Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman. Now, I have to say she was frustrated with the "All Christmas Station"- she didn't understand why I couldn't get them to turn off Karen Carpenter's "Christmas With You" and play Jingle Bells on demand. :)
-Finding her Elf "Ollie" every morning. She especially liked when Ollie was found in her stocking with a 1/2 eaten bag of Welch's Fruit Snacks. He must of had a "rough night" as Riley said.
-Taking the animals, wisemen and presents out of her nativity scene advent calendar and yelling "Happy Birthday, Baby Jeez" (evidently they are tighter than I knew and she has shortened his name) on Christmas morning when she took the baby out of the manger.
-Her "BIG" present from Santa...a Kitchen! She has NEVER played by herself for more than 5 minutes, until the kitchen. Thank you Santa!!!! She especially loves the microwave and keeps heating things up "just a little bit". :)
