It's Christmas! Max normally doesn't like hats and pulls them right off, but he loves wearing this "Cousin Eddie" hat that was mine when I was little.
Our Christmas puppy, Murphy, he always finds the cozy spots.
The G and The Pop came over from Topeka to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with us. Here we are right after mass on Christmas Eve. It was super crowded at church, Mommy and GG got there 30 minutes early and it was totally full. They got 2 rocking chairs in the cry room, so we all just kind of squeezed in. For supper, Mommy and Daddy made Beef Daube Provencal, a recipe Mommy had been wanting to try for quite a while. It was yummy.
Me and My Momma
Our little family on Christmas Eve
Max and I each got to open 1 present on Christmas Eve. I wanted to open my present from Max and he wanted to open his from me. Guess what my little brother gave me? A shaving kit! I always want to shave with Daddy, but I've never had my very own razor and supplies, but now I do! I broke it in immediately as Poppy showed me some shaving techniques.
How do I look? Nice and smooth? I gave Max a fishing toy for the bathtub and he really liked that too.
Bedtime stories on Christmas Eve - usually Mommy and Daddy each read 1 story and tell 1 story. Tonight, GG and Poppy got to tell and read one too.
I love ANY book involving monsters or anything scary!
Christmas morning finally arrived! First thing when I woke up, I said, "I can't wait for Max to wake up so I can tell him thank you for my shaving kit." Then, "I want to shave, Daddy!" And then, "Let's go open presents!" I was so hoping that Santa had remembered that I really wanted a saxophone. And guess what???
He did!!!
My new saxophone goes everywhere. I played all day on Christmas, put in in my nightstand drawer last night and took it everywhere I went today (even to Hobby Lobby with Mommy and Max, where I played it in the store). We got a lot of smiles. :)
I can play so many jazzy tunes!
Max decided to relax on the couch Chrismtas morning with Murphy and eat his Cheerios.
Sweet baby brother
Just lounging and still waking up
Max got a growth chart from Santa. It's really similar to the one I have in my room, but Max's has rockets (mine has baseball players)
My quadruple decker ice cream cone set from GG and Poppy - another favorite! They gave Max and me a new kitchen set and all kinds of goodies to go with it.
Playing under the tree...
Checking out a toy for Murphy from Grandma and Grandpa
Another favorite gift - my new Nike soccer clothes from Grandma and Grandpa, as with the saxophone that never leaves my side, I've had these clothes on since Christmas morning, only changing to put on my jammies at night
Maxy and I got lots of nice clothes from Grandma and Grandpa in Florida, Max got this striped shirt.
Here's the cool kitchen from GG and Poppy, my brother and I love it already!
An easel from Mommy and Daddy
Mommy's favorite Christmas present ever - this handprint wreath that I made for Mommy and Daddy at school. I brought it home a couple weeks ago and did such a good job keeping a secret as to what it was. Mommy started crying when she saw it, she loves it so much. I thought we should hang it in the basement by my kitchen.
Here's my beautiful work
I wanted to pose with the G and the Pop too by the wreath I made
And after all those presents, we got really hungry. Mommy made us Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pancakes! What a great Christmas we had! I am so thankful!
