Christmas #6

After breakfast, it was time to get dressed and head to Fort Lauderdale. There was still another Christmas to be had...

I was able to take short nap on the airplane. It would have been longer, but there was a baby two aisles up that kept screaming. I wonder if I can ask to not be seated near other babies...














When we got to Fort Lauderdale, Uncle Andy picked us up. Grandma Lyn and Pop Pop were already there! Uncle Andy and Grandma Lyn had to leave right after I got there to go pick up Uncle Eric and my cousins, Hannah and Ethan. I didn't mind the wait. It was nice and warm and there was a playground right outside Uncle Andy's door.










We celebrated Christmas #6 after Uncle Andy brought the rest of the family home from the airport. It's hard to imagine "Christmas" when in a tank top, but we managed...













After opening presents, we had Christmas dinner. (I think that was the last one though...) We played with some or our new toys and went to bed.

Christmas #3, 4, and 5

I woke up Christmas Eve morning in room full of toys. I got to stay in Nana's school room. It has flash cards and books and dolls! There was also a pretty Christmas dress and shoes waiting for me.

We went over to Great Aunt Karen and Great Uncle Bruce's house for brunch. I didn't eat very much, but I enjoyed playing the piano and opening my presents (Christmas #3). I can't wait to use my Build-a-Bear gift card!!






















In the late afternoon, when I would normally eat dinner, we went to church. Mommy and Daddy took pictures of me before the service. I wore my cute new dress, but the shoes were too big.














I really enjoyed watching Nana play the bells. I love music! I squirmed through the rest of the service. I did enjoy the candle light part of the service -- especially the blowing out of the candles.













After church, we went back to Nana and Grandpa John's house for dinner. Nana and Grandpa John just moved into the house the week before we came. As it was past my normal dinner time, I was not in the mood to try eating any new foods (or even foods I have tried and liked before). To calm me down, Daddy took me up for a bath. Then, I put on my Christmas Elf pajamas.









Grandpa John has a piano also. I got to play again. We also listened to my cousin Wesley play. He is really good.









Christmas #4 came after dinner. We opened presents. I even helped Nana open her presents!














Aunt Margie came over too. She is a lot of fun. She gave me a puppy doll that I hope to see with the rest of my presents when Nana and Grandpa John come to visit next year. (Mommy said I have to wait for most of my presents, because they are too big to go on the airplane.)













Christmas #5 was on Christmas morning. We opened our stockings.









Santa brought a lot of good stuff. I got two new pairs of sunglasses and a new hat that matches my coat. I helped Nana open her stocking, too.

Christmas #2

Christmas #2 was the morning of December 23. I woke up and got to open my presents from Grandma Liz and Grandpa Joe. Mommy says I am OCD just because I felt the need to get off every piece of paper and tape before opening the box. Make sure to look at these photos in order...I received lots of neat (and educational) placemats! I can even color and draw on them!










If you didn't know, I really like hats. I found both of Grandma Liz's Santa hats to wear.













Here is a photo of Grandpa Joe looking at the calendar I gave him for Christmas.













Later in the morning, we went out to see Grandpa Joe and Grandma Liz's "farm." It is a large piece of land with a solar powered shed and privy. The privy was cold, so I kept my diaper on.









I think Santa may have gone through earlier. Do you see what I see?!









After my nap, I helped myself to some snacks. I figured out where the pretzels and chips were hiding. Mommy walked by to find me sitting in the pantry with the chip clip in one hand and the bag of chips in the other.













I enjoyed playing at Grandpa Joe and Grandma Liz's house. Grandma Liz had a big blue ball for me to bounce on.













Plus, she had this little room that was just the right size for me. It had a little door and a light switch I could reach. I think Mommy may have liked the room, too.













I had not been to Grandma Liz and Grandpa Joe's house since I was about 6 weeks old. I have really grown a lot since then. Just look at these pictures of me with Aunt Michelle and Uncle Owen.





















Nana and Grandpa John came over for dinner (and to drive me to their house for Christmas #3, 4, and 5). I am generally happy. At dinner time though, people try to feed me food I don't want to eat.
