Christmas Part 2

Since we have a big family, we get to spend a couple of days celebrating Christmas. Here we are at Great Grandma & Grandpa's on the day after Christmas for our second major celebration.

Here is me in my Christmas outfit which was very cute but didn't last very long. Here's the whole gang (except my Daddy because he was taking the picture).

Helping Emma & Ava open their presents since they are still new at this :)
"I make the rules..." so appropriate since Mommy wanted me to stay in my Christmas outfit, but I decided to wear this...

Opening my presents.

Taking a break after all that present opening.

Even though I was really tired because I only got a short nap today, I still had enough energy to "play my game." This is the Fisher Price Computer Cool School and let me tell you, it is COOL. Mommy did a lot of research on learning games and this one was supposed to be good. It is because I love it!

You can see this is going to keep me busy for a long time

Christmas Day

I woke up to find a few big presents from Santa waiting for me under the tree. I got a new baby cradle and carrier for my babies... ...and an art easel. You will probably see lots of pictures of me doing this in the near future because I love it so much and they can barely pry me away from it.

I had to put on my princess dress and take a picture with my babies in front of the tree.

Good thing, because when it was time for the group picture in front of the tree, I wasn't in the mood anymore.

But, I was a good sport at dinner that night...

...and this one is especially for Nana & Papa G... Our group picture with our hats. They even got me to wear mine!

Merry Christmas!

Decorating Cookies

Today we decorated cookies for Santa. I really liked adding the sprinkles.
But I think sampling the frosting was my favorite part.

Delloso Farms

We went to see the mile of Christmas lights at Dell Oso farms. They were pretty good. Afterwords we walked around to see what else they had to do there. We found the bouncy pillows and I LOVED it. I laughed so much! Mommy was a good sport and climbed on the pillows and bounced with me. It was a really fun time!

Tubes from Wrapping Paper

...are so much fun!

Before Christmas

Here are several different things we did before Christmas...

I got to play cars with Jonathan at Auntie Corinne's party.
Mommy & I made beaded necklaces with Christmas trees and snowmen.

I was a little sassy when handing out presents.

So Goofy

I am singing "I like 'em big... I like 'em chunky; I like to move it, move it!" from the movie Madagascar.

Mommy's Little Helper

Mommy & I made cheesecake pops for Auntie Corinne's party tonight. I got to help!

I put the sticks in... ...and put lots of sprinkles on...
...and of course I had to taste to make sure they were yummy!

Enochs Christmas Party

An annual Christmas event at my Mommy's school is the Kids Christmas party. I had a lot of fun doing all of the activities that the kids planned.

My favorite was cookie decorating... ...but my favorite part about that was eating the cookie :)
We made Christmas cards...

...and a gingerbread house.

Little Princess

Paper Plate Snowman

Since I seem to be taking after my Mommy in my love of crafts, she came up with some fun projects for us to do during our count down to Christmas. One I loved a lot was making paper plate snowmen. We couldn't stop at just one because I was having so much fun, so we made one for Nana too.

Gluing on the cotton balls.See how much fun this was!
A toddler with a bottle of glue... dangerous!

The finished product!

Christmas Tree Lane

We took our annual visit to Christmas Tree Lane on it's opening weekend. We went for soup and sandwiches first to help get us warmed up. It was very cold and very crowded, but we really enjoyed all the lights! I got to be snuggled up under blankets in my stroller! I had a great view!

Window Clings

... are some of the easiest ways to decorate for a holiday. Mommy got me some snowmen, penguins, and snowflakes to decorate the windows. This was a very fun activity for me!

My HAND Made Wreath

Countdown to Christmas

Until Mommy has time to make this or this...
she made this for us to count down to Christmas. Each day has an activity for us to do or special treat for me. We will try to show you some of the fun things we do to count down to Christmas!

Thanksgiving on the Beach

Thanksgiving was such a nice day in Monterey that we were able to go for a walk on the beach.

Headed for the beach... ...waving "hi!"
Nana & Papa walking to the beach

Mommy & I waiting for Papa to get our jackets because, although it was sunny, it was COLD!

Playing in the sand...

Trying to take a family picture... against my wishes!

But then, they got my blessing :)
