This was her first time opening presents/tearing paper and she seriously LOVED it! We had to get it started for her in the beginning by pulling a piece off a bit, but then she instantly grabbed it and pulled. Sometimes her pulling would be slow and dainty...
and other times she would just rip into it! There was even a time she was NOT having it...
It was so funny. Towards the end when she was getting the hang of it, she started waving her arms and yelping, grabbing toys and kicking her feet. It was as if she knew this was a special night.
Gwen left no presents behind. She even tried to open boxes and pull gifts out of their holders, it was so cute. Jason opened one of the big gifts, where you drop these balls into the top of this smiley face and then hit a button for them to spiral down it and out the bottom to music, and if babies jaws could drop, I think Gwen's did. Absolutely mesmerized by this goofy toy.
Eddie got to have some fun as well. We did not get him any presents this year nor did we force him to wear an elf costume for a family portrait, but he did get to wrestle around in all the wrapping paper and believe me, he was in heaven!
We ended the night with a few family photos taken the best way we know how (our heads huddled together while Jason's arm reaches around to snap the shot). Out of all of the presents Gwenie got, she seemed to love chewing on the box of her tights the most, ha! At one point, she seemed to fall asleep sitting up, but that was ok, it was late and she was a trooper :)
Like I said, she even fell asleep sitting :) I guess we kinda knew it was time to go to bed after this one! (ok ok, so she might just be looking down, but still, it was late!) Gwen's New Jersey Christmas was just the beginning of a wonderful first Christmas. More xmas fun to come :)

So cute! I love that picture of her with the stocking on her head, haha. But what is with Jason's grizzly man beard?
