christmas morning

This Christmas felt extra special in our house this year. Even more so I think than last year. Hell, I don't even recall last Christmas. Weredesh was still sick, and I think I was in a daze - overtired, overwhelmed and just plain out of my mind trying to figure out motherhood (not that we ever get that one figured out). We only had Weredesh home a couple of weeks by Christmas last year. But this year was different. She's talking, walking, playing, and interacting. It's a blast to watch and she LOVES her gifts. THANK YOU friends and family! It's amazing what a different beast Christmas becomes once you have a little one on board. I think this house EXPLODED with toys Christmas morning. It was just the three of us with Ayla, enjoying our potica (Eastern European bread which takes half a day to make and I took the job over from grandma this year) and a hot cup of coffee. mmm...

Some photos that captured the morning...
