My First Christmas!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas! Mine was absolutely wonderful! I had a great time with mommy, daddy, Maddi, Kaiser, Auntie Bridget, Mimi and Poppy. I have so many pictures to share, I'm not going to bore you with lots of commentary.

I'll let all the pictures do the storytelling! :-)

Here's me Christmas eve in my new dress daddy bought for me.

He has good taste, don't you think? Despite the FIT I threw when mommy first put it on (it's awfully scratchy), I recovered and was able to pull out a few smiles for pictures.

Mommy and Me!

Auntie Bridget and me!


Mommy, Daddy, and I started a new family tradition...to open one present each on Christmas eve....Here's me opening my very first present!



What they didn't tell me was it will be pajamas every year...this is what I thought about that!

I was happy to see a book as well that daddy will read to me every Christmas eve!

I LOVED IT!

So did mommy! Daddy is a GREAT storyteller!

I was very happy Christmas morning...how could you not be?

Can you believe these were all for ME???

Thanks to all my friends, family, and SANTA! :-)

My first stocking from Santa...filled with SO many goodies!

Which elf is responsible for putting this silly hat in my stocking?

Some of my other gifts...books and DVD from Mimi & Poppy

My dragon from daddy...he sings me songs and tells me "good morning" and "good night" in

English, French, and Spanish! I'm going to be SMART!

My pink monkey blanket from Great Uncle Pat, Great Aunt Barb, Morgan, and Ryan

Tummy time play gym from Great Grandma Ida

Christmas was fun....but I got worn out. This is mommy and me settling down for the night.

I can't believe I'm still wearing that silly hat!

Daddy and me, with a little R & R after Christmas.

Can't say goodbye without sharing my excitement for the VIKINGS making the playoffs!

So sad for uncle Bruce, NY Giants and the Bears :-(

We love you all and hope you have a SAFE, WARM, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

See you in 2009!
