What a wonderful Christmas!!! We went up to Pittsburgh this year since it was D's family's turn this year and we had such a great time.
We were greeted upon our arrival by Grammy and Grandpap who took A over as soon as they could. She, of course, was delighted to see them. Here she is with her Grammy...
We had a number of different Christmas outfits on hand but it was hard photographing them as A is exactly the age where she has a hard time sitting still if left to her own devices. Here she is on Christmas Eve just before we headed out to Granddad's. She was having a hard time sitting upright on the slippery leather recliner!
Grammy and Grandpap entertained A before Christmas Eve dinner or was it the other way around? She had everyone redfaced from laughing so hard. Grandpap's kisses on her neck with his tickly beard made it hard for her to not laugh.
Here is everyone at Christmas Eve dinner just before we dug in! I was able to set the camera up so that the timer went off immediately after Granddad's camera. I don't think I could do that again if I tried! See Aunt H on the right? Next year she'll be adding another little one to the bunch!
One of A's most favorite presents of all this year was actually a duplicate of something she already has. Her security blanket is a fluffy yellow thing from Target that I found on clearance a while back for $2 because it had lost it's original packaging. She attached herself to it IMMEDIATELY when I brought it home. D and I have both learned the incredible value of such a thing and were able to find them at another Target and bought one for A so that we always have an extra. Here is A opening it up and burying her face in it - what she ALWAYS does when she sees it.
A was charming everybody! Even cousins M and D couldn't resist her cuteness! They spent a ton of time playing with her after all of the presents were opened.
The next morning (Christmas day) Granddad stopped by Grammy and Grandpap's to say hi and we were able to get a much better picture of him and A together.
It's another of A's Christmas outfits! This one came from Grammy and Grandpap and was so comfy. It was like pajamas and came with
the cutest matching headband.
A was AWESOME and enjoyed being passed around to each and every relative. Aunt T from Pensacola especially loved holding her.
Here was ALMOST everyone. Amazing that it was only almost because look how many people are squeezed in the picture!!! D's family is so huge!!!!
And, finally, here is little Miss A on Christmas morning with her Christmas stocking that Grammy made and filled with all kinds of goodies. A is wearing a little union suit pajama outfit that came complete a hat all the way from Canada!
