We were able to enjoy our Christmas in Kansas. It was nice not having to travel further than 15 minutes away, but strange to not have any of my family around. Eve was definitly lots of fun. She loved opening presents, until she found one she wanted to play with right then and there. It is just so much fun to enjoy Christmas from the eyes of a child. 
One of the traditions we started last year with Eve is something called the three wisemen gifts. Each year she gets three gifts, a want, a need, and something to share. This year for her want she got a little people A to Z zoo. It has an animal for each letter of the alphabet and a mat that you can touch to hear the letters and animal sounds. It was an instant hit and she plays with it every day. And she can already tell you the name of each and every animal. For her need gift, she got a comforter and sheet set for her big girl bed when we put it up sometime. And for her share gift, we ordered her a toddler chair. Its hard to get her something to share because right now it is just her, but hopefully one day she can share it with some younger siblings.
