Merry Christmas!!

After a busy Christmas last year we decided to tone things down a bit this year and celebrate our (R,A and myself) Christmas on Christmas Eve and then celebrate with both sides of our families on Christmas Day. We started off visiting with my side of the family and then made our way to R's aunt's house. Here are some snapshots from the day.


Cousin P lost among all the gifts...that's what will happen with a family of 18 and counting.

A and cousin P enjoying a snuggle and book with Grandpa.


This is A taking a break laying on the tissue paper while watching others open their gifts. I guess during my first trimester she witnessed me laying on the floor while she played one too many times. :)

Uncle K's new boots caught A's attention and before he knew it she was testing them out for him.

Our very cute and handsome nephew, E.


For Christmas, A got a raincoat and rain boots which she decided she wanted to wear on the way to R's aunt's house (and most of the time in Grandma and Grandpa's house). This is her cool new rain gear with her pretty Christmas dress underneath.

You probably won't appreciate this picture much unless you have seen A do what R and I affectionately refer to as her "old man" walk. She breaks out in this walk from time to time as she did on the way to our car.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
