Last leg...

I know what you're thinking- chocolate pudding, right? Well, all I'm saying is I went #2 while taking my nap, and I kept calling for mommy and daddy to come and get me.  They said they didn't come right away because I had not been sleeping very long. When they didn't show up after a few minutes, I decided I had to find a way to entertain myself....

Funny, right? Mom and Dad didn't think so. Did I mention that I managed to keep my art work on the wall and my fingers without getting it everywhere? Now that's talent :)!

Joli decided to join me for a bath (I was already depooped) to clean up.

It was FINALLY time to open presents with my Marmee and Poppy.... 

Colin was excited to get busy too!

We started off taking turns opening one at a time, but it didn't last long. The boys were pros and ready to open quickly, while Joli and I wanted to open and play with each present as they were unwrapped.

All the kids got a pillow pet from Marmee and Poppy, and I must say they were a hit with us all! 

We all got WAY to much, and I was seriously overwhelmed with the volume of things to open. 

Two of my favorite gift are my trampoline (everyone loves it!) and my Easel. I love to jump and draw :)!

I wish my nap had not been cut short, because I was one sleepy baby.....

Christmas was magical and amazing this year! Happy birthday baby Jesus!

Christmas lunch

After breakfast we headed out to Aunt Cybils house for lots of fun with my family. Bryson and Colin drew each other's names in the cousin exchange, they gave each other a sweet hug once they opened gifts!

Colin and Grandma both look so beautiful (sorry Colin, but you are beautiful :) ) in this picture, I had to include it!

Daddy had his hands full, literally, with Libby and me :)!

It was so nice to have everyone in one house for a few hours (minus Stacia- we missed you soooo much Stacia! But we understand that some babies are born on/around Christmas.....*ahem*).

We were all beyond excited when the guest of honor arrived!

Doesn't my "Nina" look cute in her hat and scarf?

Mommy and I felt like Christmas was complete with our Anita Bug home for the day!

I couldn't wait to lay a big kiss on her!

While mommy and Anita were visiting, Addi and I were having fun dancing, and playing with the snowman.

We exchanged gifts with our cousins (thank you Lib for my baby) and watched Braxton, Zach, and Anita open special presents from everyone.

I just love my Braxy.....

I stayed up WAY past my nap time (3pm!) and was starting to show signs on being sleepy. Mommy and I both had a mini meltdown together. It made us both feel better!

This was one sleepy and sweet face! I was asleep almost instantly once in the car.

My final Christmas post is next! 

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas

After opening presents at my house, we headed over to M&P's house in the snow! We always have a super yummy breakfast on Christmas morning as a family. Jojo and I enjoyed eating our breakfast together with our new candy bibs from Marm.

Jakob was super pumped because Santa brought him a DSi. He was sure to explain to everyone that a DSi is WAY different than jsut a normal old DS.

My lovely grandparents spend a lot of time making our breakfast. 

Good old Uncle Jake always keeps us entertained with something hilarious on the computer.

Jojo and I waited patiently to open a present before I had to leave and go to another family gathering.

We were super excited to open up princess dishes to keep at Marmee and Poppy's house. We each got a set for our new kitchens too!

I wanted to hold all the pieces and play with them right away. 

The dishes were fun, but as soon as I realized that everyone else was heading outside to play in the snow, I was up and trying to put together a warm outfit.

Thank goodness Santa brought me a new furry hat! It was perfect! 

Here are two pictures of the kids with the snowman that we all (ok, well mostly daddy) built together.

Before I came in to dry off and head out, Jakob taught me how to make snow angels! It was fun, but WAY too cold!

Christmas with my Daddy's family is coming up next :)!

Christmas morning

Be good, and Santa will bring you presents....

I was very excited about all of the fun new toys Santa brought for Christmas!

I guess the amount of toys really show how good Colin and I have been this year :).

I loved everything, but Play-Doh was my first activity for the morning! I love playing with Play-Doh at school and my Marmee/Poppy's house, so I was SOOO excited to have it at my house now! The rules? One color at a time, and keep it on the table. I think I can handle that...

I am super pumped about all the great meals that I will be able to provide my family with now that I have a state of the art kitchen. I've already multitasked by talking on my kitchen phone while cooking, yes I'm that good.

Bubba got a lot of neat toys too! My favorite was his Georgia tackle dummy. 

Mommy had me include this picture of daddy and me opening my stocking because she said I looked so grown up.

Super, extra cool Christmas bonus- Snow :)! I will report more on the snow in my next post (because I have to break my Christmas into a few parts!). Mommy let me have a ring pop out of my stocking, it didn't leave my mouth often over the next hour....

....except when mommy on bubba made me laugh :)

Bubba and I got lots of cool presents from mommy and daddy too! I liked opening presents, it was the most fun part of the day!

Mommy and I are overwhelmed with all the Christmas Day pictures....so I'm sure we left some really cute ones out from our time at our house. Stay tuned for Christmas breakfast with my g-parents!

Twas the night before Christmas...

...and we had a fabulous time hanging out with some of our favorite family and friends! The Cole's came over to our house before heading out to their family get together so Mia, Millie, and I could exchange gifts and hang :).

Thank you Mia and Millie for the awesome cookie jar and cookies! You know me very well :)!

Millie is such a sweet pea baby. Mommy says she reminds her a lot of me when I was a little baby.

We headed over to Uncle Bryan and Aunt Sarah's house for dinner. Addi and I had fun running around acting silly and talking like big girls.

The boys did what boys do best- they watched sports on TV :)!

Present time was awesome! I got a really cute talking Elmo, Elmo tickle hands, a rocking chair, and dress up clothes!

I think everyone had fun giving and receiving gifts from each other. My happy birthday Jesus book talks about the reason that we give gifts is to show our love for one another, just like Jesus loves us! I like showing my love with presents!

Addi and I both got dress up clothes, and we were soooo excited to try them on and play!

Addi even had the perfect hair accessory to go with my princess outfit.

I ran all over the house showing off my new outfit and all of its cuteness...

eventually I tired and played some tunes for my cousins before it was time to go home and get ready for Santa. 

Christmas Eve was a lot of fun! Stay tuned for Christmas Day :).
