I Believe in Santa

i really enjoyed the christmas season this year. it's been fun, elizabeth is getting old enough to understand the idea of santa. plus, she has been such a big helper with christmas decorations and wrapping all our gifts. she is so smart that we knew we could explain about why we celebrate christmas. as christmas grew closer, she would ask if it was Jesus' birthday yet.
elizabeth sure gave us a good laugh on christmas morning. she ran into our room with a huge smile and her arms in the air and yelled, "i'm ready to open my presents from santa!!".
elizabeth must have been really good, because santa gave her a real live bunny. yeah, you heard me! it was so funny, the cage was sitting on the coffee table and she saw it when she walked into the room, and she got a big ol' smile and said 'mom, i really want to touch it'.
we named the bunny noel, and she adores noel. i have to say to that this bunny is not like any other bunny i have ever had, it's very tame and will come right up onto elizbath and lick her.
elizabeth loves opening presents, however the bunny kept most of her attention throughout the morning...well, to be honest, ryan and i had just as much fun playing with the bunny as elizabeth.
