We woke at the normal time, 9-ish, with Kaia hungry and me barking like a seal. Stupid sickness, go away! Can’t I please leave 2008 healthy?!? Anyway, we got up and started to get ready for our day.
Family started arriving around 9:30. Cory started cooking (meat, again!) and once everyone got there we had brunch. Bellinis, breakfast casserole, southwest quiche, cinnamon rolls… man, we had quite a breakfast spread. Kaia gummed some cinnamon roll but was more interested in the bags and tissue paper around the tree.
Since this was all about her this year, we let her tackle her gifts first. She got her first pony! J A cute little red ryder pony and she squealed like we’d never heard her squeal before when she started bouncing on it. Too cute. She was pretty much giddy all day, like she knew it was Christmas. Just wait kid, it only gets better!
We put Kaia's party outfit on her again so the Cheney clan could see it. She looked just as cute in it the second time around, minus the tights because they were covered in dog hair from the night before. :) Thanks to Aunt Candice by the way for providing the tights and shiny shoes.
What I wish I had record of is Cory's dad laughing his ass off and playing Wii golf. I've never heard the man laugh like that. In fact, I don't know that I've ever heard him really laugh before, at least nothing more than a short chuckle at someone else's expense. It was good to hear and kind of cool to see the two of them doing something together and enjoying it...I think babies just bring out the best in everyone.

That goes down as one of my best Christmas's ever!
So you got a Wii?
