It's New Year's Eve! And you know what that means...

More Christmas presents!

We had ordered an extra big gift for Rori that should have arrived two days before Christmas, but due to the storms, it was delayed.  And because of the back up with all of the orders that were delayed, it took until today for it to finally arrive.  So when Ryan got home from work today, he locked himself in the playroom and put together Rori's new kitchen center.

He wanted to keep it a surprise until it was totally finished, and when he was done, we had her put on her new little chef's hat and apron (which she was happy about even without knowing what was coming next) before going in to see her surprise.

Chef Rori

As soon as she saw her new kitchen, she was all over it!  She was so into it, that it was really hard to get a picture of her - all I could see was the back of her!  Soon she was hard at work, cooking food and sharing it with all of us.  It was adorable!  Ryan got it all on film, but for now you'll have to see it through these pics.

Checking out the accessories

Making "soup" (that's what we had for dinner tonight)

Soup's ready!

Eager to share.

Have some juice, Sister!

Would you like an onion ring?

I think she likes it!

Now, don't worry, Acadia wasn't completely left out of the gifting fun.  We also had a couple gift cards for her - she LOVES gift cards!  So, earlier today we went out to Barnes and Noble where she bought a book that she's been asking me for.  We also went to Target where she bought a couple more Littlest Pet Shops (because apparently she doesn't have enough yet, lol) and some Christmas PJs on clearance.  She still has balances on both gift cards so she's excited that she'll get to go shopping again another time. 



As we speak, Cadi and her friend, RaeAnne (who has been spending a few days with us), are cooking up a storm with Rori.  They keep bringing out plates of food from Chef Rori for Ryan and I to eat.  They are all having a lot of fun with this!
