This year we spent Christmas in Shallowater. We assumed that we would have to come up sometime in January to celebrate, but since Caroline came 2+ weeks early, we were able to be there for real Christmas :) The drive was less than fun with a baby who needs to stop to nurse and a toddler who needs to stop and go potty and talks NON STOP. We planned the timing to be when Lila would nap half of the way, but my headstrong girl told me when I told her it was time to go to sleep, "Mommy, I not close my eyes"! Guess what? She didn't :) That new found attitude is for a whole other post...
Sweet Caroline snoozing on the trip.
One very happy Mommy and her girls on Christmas Eve Morning!
Cha Cha and Grumps with their 5 grand kids!!!
After nap time we had our birthday party for Jesus with a delicious red velvet cake. Then it was dress up time. (That explains the lovely outfits we had on for the rest of the night)!
Sweet cousins ready to open presents.
Blaine SO excited to get his dragon castle!
Sweet Presley and a new Sparkle Barbie.
Mia got a bike!!!
Lila got this hilarious pink piano!
...even Caroline got in on the action.
After many more presents, we had a jam session!
Lovin' on aunt Rox.
The kiddos spread their reindeer food,
and set out the cookies and milk for Santa. Then they were off to bed. Time for grown up presents.
All the "kids" in our new fleeces. We always have so much fun when it's just the grown ups, but between Santa and new born hours, I was ready for bed. After a short night we woke up for Christmas Day!!!
