The Joy of Giving and Kevin the Dentist

We opened Christmas presents last night. We were going to do it tonight (the 21st) since we are leaving tomorrow for our Tour de Texas but we were excited and said "why not open them tonight?!"

I have been wondering why towels and Caroline's blankets were wadded up under our Christmas tree with the presents. Caroline told me those were our Christmas presents. She took her toys and wrapped them in towels and blankets to give Kevin and myself. Isn't that cute? And while we opened presents last night, she kept running into her room and bringing toys to us and telling us they were our Christmas presents. Our family room was a disaster with her blankets wrapped around all of her toys but it was too precious to gripe about because she was enjoying giving things to us. There is still a pink My Little Pony wrapped in a red towel under the tree that Caroline said is for Daddy for Christmas. You can see it in some of the pictures below. (Don't get me wrong, she LOVES getting presents too!)

We gave Caroline a sing-a-long Dora DVD with inflatable microphone. Here she is trying it out.Later Kevin played dentist last night and flossed Caroline's teeth. It was hilarious because he was asking her the typical questions a dental hygienist asks you when you can't respond because they are doing their things in your mouth.


First thing this morning, Caroline (aka Princess Aurora) was dressed and singing to her new Dora DVD.

The princess crown/headband was her other gift from us for Christmas. Its more comfortable than a tiara for her little princess head. :)

I like this picture because it looks like she's doing the YMCA.

Changed the princess crown and traded out the microphone for a wand.
Cooking with her new "Princess of Everything" apron she received from my uncle Perry, aunt Nan, and cousins Taylor and Haley. This is what she made me for breakfast. :)
