Christmas at Grammie's

After doing presents at home we went to Grammie & PawPaw's for breakfast.

Of course we had to start with stockings and they were all stuffed!

Dani got lots of presents, of course.

Daddy got a new leather jacket and another gun (that also used to belong to his dad).

And a good time was had by all

And then it was time to go to Grandma Nuna's then to Grandma Zonnie's house.

Christmas morning at home

I know it's not conventional but we did our Christmas morning in the kitchen, that way I could see Dani's face when she walked out and saw her presents.

She was very happy about her new fuzzy pink crocks!

And she got a fairy dress up trunk and a box full of princess shoes!!

I think it's safe to say she was happy with her presents. I love the top right pic of her.

Daddy got a gun (which previously belonged to his dad) and Mommy got horse stuff. Dani had to wear her crown and heels, even over her footie pajamas. Our tradition is to take a picture of all of us in our new Christmas jammies in front of the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. But we were all so tired and Danica was already asleep when we got home from Grandpa's that we postponed it. There are a few jammies/tree pictures in this collage.

All this happiness makes for lots of kisses :)

Christmas Eve '09

In keeping with tradition we celebrated Christmas with Grandpa on Christmas Eve at his house. We had already done an early Christmas at his house with Joel, MaryAnn, and Ellie. Dani loved her parrot hat (yes, she's already a parrot head...AKA Jimmy Buffett fan).

Again, with tradition...we all get new pj's to wear for our Christmas picture. All of them were wrapped together and we let Dani open them.

She also got a fairy tutu, fairy slippers, and an Ariel camera.

Along with a pony! She was soooo cute "riding" it around (in her tutu).

Jim made her a present and wouldn't even let Grandpa in on it! It turned out to be a big toy box. The dog on top was named "Jim Dog" and he sleeps in bed with Dani every night.

By the time we got home Dani was exhausted so we didn't do our Christmas pj picture until the next morning.

Christmas with Tristin

12-19-09

We had a small early Christmas celebration before Tristin had to go back to his daddy. His favorite toy was a tool bench. He even let Dani try on his safety glasses and hard hat.
