Christmas with Oma and Opa

Rachel's first Christmas was an exciting and very busy time!  The week before Christmas, we made some sugar cookies that Wes took to work.  Rachel did not get to try any yet, but she did enjoy playing with the cooking cutters while watching us work.

The real celebrations started with a visit from Oma and Opa the weekend before Christmas.  Rachel was very happy to see them again.

Rachel enjoyed playing with the tree and was a good sport about wearing her Christmas outfit, hat and all, for the present opening fun.

Rachel (and her parents) appreciate all of the nice gifts that she received.  The most exciting part was probably the tissue paper, though.
