man oh man

.. did Brooke get a lot of presents this year! You'll see her whole loot later in this post, so I'll start from the very beginning.

We woke up on Christmas Eve and planned to open her play kitchen so she could play with it all day. Here it is, in all of its glory:

It only took Vance an hour to put together


But what Brooke was MOST thrilled with was a slide that Vance created out of the play kitchen box:

How do you like her 'do?



Then we headed over to Vance's aunt and uncle's house for dinner. They have an enormous, beautiful house with stairs, which is huge for Brooke because she loves stairs. This is what she did all.night.long.

Then we woke up this morning, my parents & Vance's parents came over to watch Brooke open presents...

Here's the end result:

Yay, she has her very own slide!

Merry merry Christmas to all!
