Christmas 2012

We spent Christmas Eve at Marshall's Aunt Linda's house and visited with his dad, grandma, brother, aunt & cousins.  Linda's house is being remodeled, so please excuse the dusty stairs.  Paige was excited to play on them (with her legos in hand, of course).  Reese remembered them from the last time we were over there, and she also had fun playing on them.  Everything was going great until Paige took a tumble and wound up head down on the tile...by this time, it was getting late & the girls needed to go to bed.  We hadn't even opened gifts yet, so we missed out on that.  Here are the pictures I did get before Paige fell & before we left.

Santa came!  He left Reese a bicycle, some jumbo letter magnets, a huge pink back pillow, a Backyardigans pillow, a big R to hang on her wall, two Barbies in their cars, lots of books & puzzles, a picture frame, a new doll stroller.  He brought Paige lots of Legos & stacking cups, her own broom, a Little People jungle, a turtle pillow from Sea World, a Dora pillow, puzzles, books & a picture of her in a frame.  They also got clothes.  Santa knew that Reese & Paige don't understand the idea of gifts or opening them, so he left them unwrapped for them to find.

My mom came over later Christmas morning and we exchanged gifts with her.  Next, we went over to Granny Clifford's house and saw them, Kim & her family, and Jamie and BJ.  Paige just wanted to be tickled by Sarah...

This is all the sisters...Kim & her husband Preston, Jamie & BJ, and me & Marshall. We also got pictures with Sarah, and a 4 generation picture with Dad and Granny.  The 4th part of that...my children...of course would not stay still for a picture.  So I guess it's only 3 generations.

Paige wanted a piggy-back ride...

A quick shot of her in front of the tree before going to Grandma Darlene & Papa David's house...

Uncle Brian helped Paige open her present.

With all the new Christmas toys, you'd think Paige would be in heaven with them. Not!  She wanted to splash in this tin bucket...haha.  If she sees water, she's in it immediately.  She even climbed in our fountain...there's no water in it right now.

Reese is always so content just being outside searching for leaves and dancing and running around.  I did get a few smiles from her :)

That's it for this week. I can't believe Christmas is over!  2013 will be here before we know it.  I'll be taking down the tree this week and trying to get back into the groove.  Thanks for stopping by!
