Christmas Eve

The day started with Poppy's World Famous French Toast.
Yummm! I can't wait to eat it someday!

Hanging upside down was one of my favorite activities that day.

We all watched Daddy's Ironman video that he worked on VERY hard! It was so good we thought we were there!

Sorry, Nanny. You can't hide from the camera!

Leaving milk and cookies for Santa

Christmas Morning is Here!

Looks like Santa came...
...and brought presents for all 13 of us! Daddy knows how many there were because he counted. I definitely had the highest percentage!

Here's our first family Christmas photo.

Uncle Mike fed me breakfast.

Here are some photos of my awesome family.

I try to share everything now, even the lid to my fruit!
Mommy used to have the biggest stocking, but I overtook her this year. She was a little bummed.
We started with the stockings.
The M&M's were my favorite, just like my mommy and daddy!
During present opening, I climbed the piles that were building.

The scene afterwards... Everyone was worn out!
Especially Daddy when he thought about all the trash he would have to take out!!

The Rest of Christmas Day

We spent the afternoon just hanging out. We played with our gifts.

Since Daddy only knows how to read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" to me, Santa brought us "Panda Bear, Panda Bear" and "Polar Bear, Polar Bear" for a little variety. I hope Daddy can handle it!

I have the two COOLEST grandmas!! They both played Dance Dance Revolution on the Xbox!!

Time for the big Christmas dinner!

We built a fire in Daddy's new firepit. (Uncle Growler, we're ready for your visit in January!)

Even the pop-up was a part of our Christmas. Poppy and Grandma actually slept in it the next few nights to get some peace and quiet!

Helping Nana and Grandpa D Get Ready for Christmas

Nana needed some help putting the ornaments on the tree.
Taking a break. I love these pants. They have a rope attached to them...instant toy!

We went to check out the Texas Santa and his cow in their front yard.

They added deer this year. I had to check them out too.

Then Grandpa D came home.
We took some nighttime photos with him.
At the front door
Nana let me take a sneak peak at my stocking!

My favorite toy while I visited was the mat that the dog bowls sit on. Tasty!
