This year we met up at my sister's house for Christmas Eve with my family. We had a big dinner and opened gifts. I love being around my family. It's just so chaotic, but there is never a dull moment! They stress me out, but that's part of the fun!
Gracyn got a rocking chair from Nonna!
Opening gifts!
Kaeleigh loves to read the Junie B. Jones books!
Gracyn's 2010 Christmas ornament from mom and dad!
After dinner, we made sugar cookies for Santa. Kaeleigh and Gracyn had a fun time decorating them!
The next morning, Gracyn woke up to find Santa had come! I think she was more concerned with getting her diaper changed and eating some breakfast than she was about tearing paper off of boxes! She'll learn though that on Christmas morning, nothing gets in the way of opening presents!
Wondering why Santa would leave her these odd looking creatures!
Wearing her new Uggs, while holding Penny the Pig, and checking out her new cell phone!
Sitting in her rocking chair, watching Curious Buddies, while Clint and I load the car up to go to his parent's house. She seriously sat like this for about an hour! I'm thinking this rocking chair has magical powers!
After we opened presents and cleaned up the mess we headed west to Oklahoma to see Grandpa and Ma Thomas. The first gift Gracyn got was a wooden ring stacker. After she got it, she wasn't interested in opening any more gifts! Clint's dad found an old piano in a house he had bought so after we opened presents him and Clint went to get and clean it up. Gracyn loved it!!! Her piano playing really livened up the party! Her dancing too!
Gracyn loved all of Ma's bells on her tree!
In Gracyn's vocab...."Y" stands for Yummy!
Aunt Jeffie made this wonderful winter hat. Gracyn has worn it to daycare everyday this week and everyone just thinks she is so cute!
Jammin' away!
Overall, we had a great Chrsitmas. we told Gracyn the story of Jesus' birthday, we had a great time will all of our family, and we got a magical rocking chair!
