More from Christmas….

I haven’t had much time to blog lately, but I wanted to make sure that I uploaded a few pictures of Rowan opening presents on Christmas morning. Christmas was fun this year now that Rowan understands a little more about presents. She actually unwrapped most of her own this year – which was so cute.

Since money is tight, we decided to only buy one gift this year for Christmas, and we decided it would be a kitchen set for Rowan. She’s always pulling all of the dishes and tupperware out of our cabinets and wants to be held while I’m cooking so she can see whats going on on the stove. She’s so interested…it’s sweet. She’s always says “hot” “hot” because she knows she can’t touch whatever is on the stovetop.

So anyway, Derek bargain shopped online and found this particle board type kitchen set that we ended up putting together on Christmas Eve. Derek decided he wanted to get a head start so we started while Rowan was still awake…we figured she wouldn’t really understand what was going on anyway. So much for that idea! She’s a smart little cookie and was all over that thing. In fact, she was up until 10:30 at night and refused to go to sleep. She usually goes to bed around 7-7:30ish… We, on the other hand, were exhausted because it was so much work trying to keep her off of it while Derek was putting it together. Iyyi yiii that little stinker! What a night that was…

Little “martha stewart” in training…she’s a little sloppy but seems to know exactly what she wants to do. And I realize Rowee falls in this video — but you have to know Rowan. She ALWAYS falls so we’re used to it.
