Christmas Day

December 25

Today is Christmas Day and we had a busy morning on our hands.  When I woke up I was pretty hungry so dad fed me my fruit and oatmeal while mom fixed pancakes.  After we were all finished eating we looked to see what Santa brought and opened our presents. I had so much fun with all the new stuff.  I couldn't decide what to play with first.  When I started to play with one thing I saw something else that looked fun and then I would see something else.  After all of that we got ready to go to church.  I got to put on my pretty Christmas dress.  By the time that we got back home I was ready for a nap so that I could be well rested to play with my new stuff.
Checking out what Santa brought.

What is in my stocking?

Chewing on some new blocks

Mommy was showing me what to do with my new dragon walker.

Ripping the paper off

It's a new toy!!!!

Mommy is trying to open my new cat toy so I can play with it....

....but I thought she was taking it away and not giving it back.

She gave it back and I love my little Stash kitten.

I was thinking about helping daddy with his stack of presents.

Oh, there's something else to play with.

Having so much fun I don't even care about my runny nose.

I took a break to talk to mommy about my stuff.

How do I get into this thing?

Ella didn't really know what to think about my new kitten.

Exhausted after church


Merry Christmas!!!!


Christmas Eve

December 24

Today is Christmas Eve and I hear that we have a special night ahead of us.  Tomorrow is Jesus' birthday and we are going to start celebrating tonight.  We went to my mom's side of the family in Mt. Airy.  First we went to my mom's Aunt Pauline.  We ate and opened presents.  I got to try some fried chicken and chocolate pudding.  When we got done there we went to grandma and grandpa's house.  They let me open my presents there and Uncle Bradley and Aunt Rebekah came too.  I think my favorite thing was a pink puppy that talked, I just thought it was soooo funny.  When I started getting tired we headed home so that I could get ready for Santa.

Getting ready for presents

Mom's cousin Eric, his wife Alisha, their girls Abigail and Addison

I decided to just turn it upside down to get the stuff out of the bag

I thought going in the bag would be better.

Daddy called my name while I was trying to play.

Checking out my new crawl ball.

Just seeing if there is anything else to get into.

Checking out my new pink puppy.

Daddy caught me looking up when somebody called my name but I didn't have my eyes open yet.

Looking to see if anything is in her ear.

Oh my gosh, this puppy is sooooo cool!!!!

I'm having soooo much fun!!!

I found the drinks.....

...and knocked some over to roll around the kitchen. Don't open these anytime soon!!

I'm trying on my new coat.

I think I like it!!

Mommy is teasing me with my puppy.
