Christmas Dinner

After our Christmas Morning at home we went to Camarillo to my cousins, The Loomis'. It was a wonderful afternoon spent eating, drinking, laughing, talking, and of course, enjoying Emily's new Wii.

Noelle and Marissa having such fun together. Marissa has this awesome cubby underneath her bed with blankets, pillows, and a TV to watch movies. Any kids dream! Unfortunately, this is the only picture I got of Noelle in her Christmas dress. Right after this picture she did not make it to the potty in time so she spent the rest of the day in pajamas. She looked adorable, though!

The whole family getting ready to eat dinner.

My precious niece Evynn and Unc having a major discussion. Evynn says it's this way and Unc says it's that way.


Drawing numbers for our White Elephant gift exchange. It was FUN! The Ecolab cleaning products were the hot items.

And, of course, this sweet angel was the highlight of the holiday. She was loved and snuggled the whole day. Next year she will be in on more of the fun!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was so much fun with a three year old! The looks are her face as she realized there was a gift underneath the paper was priceless. We felt like such a family that morning. Noelle definitely has the opening presents thing down and just loved ripping the paper. She had all kinds of gifts and loved each and every one of them.

What happens when you send Daddy out for Christmas jammies Christmas Eve afternoon? He comes home with Dora the Explorer pajamas when your kid does not even know who she is. Thanks Daddy! He combed through many racks to find anything Christmas and dealt with the crazy crowds, but at least they had candy canes on them.

Are we going to get this how on the road or what???? Patiently waiting while I fiddled with the video camera.

Let the opening begin!!!!!

Then it was on to play with them. Whoever came up with the Strawberry Shortcake bat & ball is one smart person.

Madeleine just hung out in her little sleeper. It was way cheesy but I found it on clearance for $2!
