Christmas Day
This Christmas was an absolute blast, we had the best time! Ella was sooooo excited!! Of course she woke up first and we ran downstairs to see what Santa had left.
He brought her the knitting kit that she asked for and she promptly gave it to me. What a sweet little girl.
Then mr. boy boy licious joined the scene.
And of course Grandma and Grandpa.
And that's when the real fun began. Mom brought them a ton of candy and boy boy was first to explore.
He knew there was something yummy inside, just wasn't quite sure how to get to it.
Back to pounding his hand on presents.
And hiding in the wrapping paper. Which reminds me, Little did not participate in Christmas this year because she wasn't feeling well and it was kinda sad. She loves to hide in the paper and play with the presents.
Grandma gave Goosie the huge barn pictured above and the horses to reside in it.
I was showing off my slippers again.
I have a funny story to tell about this present, but it warrants its own post.
I think this year was THE BEST Christmas... the kids were fun, I didn't have to take care of a newborn, my breasts were not engorged, we all slept well and I got a ton of great gifts. I'm pretty sure that you can see the look of peace and happiness on my face.
I love, LOVE these brown boots that Craig gave me.
Mom made out pretty well this year, although anything would be better than the gold, myrrh and frankincense that Dad got her last year (don't ask).
UM made an appearance after sleeping half the day. I don't have a picture of the gift Dad gave him, but it had to be the funniest thing ever... Mike opens up the sunglasses and Dad says, "and those aren't the cheap kind, I got them at Walmart! " ROFL (I know that Mom is gonna make me clarify that Dad bought them in the optical department rather than the main part of the store, somehow she believes that justifies his comment).
My first hat with my knitting kit! I will be posting more pictures of my creations soon.
Oh my. Great idea Mom. Boy boy loved this... this... thing and did not want to give it up. Sticky mess was EVERYWHERE. When he went down for his nap I threw it away.
We spent the evening at great-Grandma's as per tradition, but I didn't take many pictures because I was having too much fun!
