Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We have had a marathon holiday season this year. We made the trek up to PA for Christmas. Our holiday started with Christmas Eve dinner at mom and dad's house with the whole family.

Then all the grandkids opened stockings and gifts from Mammaw and Pappaw.

Christmas morning was a great time at mom and dad's. We did the whole Christmas morning thing - opened gifts and had breakfast (Emilia had two breakfasts)!


Mammaw and Pappaw got her a great new snowsuit


and a Sit & Spin...

...which Emilia has decided is a Stand & Spin.


On Christmas afternoon the WHOLE family got together. We drank (some more than others..Lauren), enjoyed each others' company, and celebrated!



One of the best parts of the holiday was that all Mammaw and Pappaw's grandkids got together for the first time (including Livia). Emilia wasn't too thrilled when I was holding her, but she loved her every other time.




Everyone found a place in the crazy house. Nanna with her newest great-granddaughter...


...and LJ under the food table!

On Saturday we had Christmas at Grami's house. Grami got her a beautiful cross necklace and a great outfit. She also got her a pony that connects to the TV. We have to hook it up and take it for a spin. We had a wonderful afternoon together!




After that we went to Grandpop and Jeanne's house to visit for a little while. Emilia had a great time meandering around their house and rocking on the magazine basket with Grandpop's help.

Finally, we came home and had Emilia's Christmas from Santa under her own tree. LuLu came over first thing in the morning to watch Emi open her gifts. She got new clothes, books, and some new toys. She, of course, walked around with clothing on a hanger (her favorite).



After all that we had New Year's Eve to look forward to (NYE post to follow)!
