Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa

Before Grandma and Grandpa left for Ohio to spend Sophia's first Christmas there, we had our own little Christmas with them in NH. Laynie got a real taste for opening presents! G & G gave her 5 socks that didn't match (which were really cute and warm), a couple of books, and a Raggedy Ann doll which she carried around all night! Of course, we all gave each other books (which is pretty typical for any holiday in this house). This celebration happened right after we got our power back so it was great to spend time in a lighted room.

Getting ready for Christmas

This year was Elayna's first year of anticipating Christmas. She learned about Santa Claus and knows that he brings presents. She helped make cookies, decorate the tree, and put up lights. And, of course, she wanted to open the presents WAAAAAAY before Christmas. Here she is looking really cute in her snowsuit:) This was the same snowsuit from last year. We realized it was a little too small and went and got her snow pants:)

Here she is helping Daddy decorate the tree. She thought the decorations were great! We had to keep a few out of her reach, but really she was very careful with them.

Tormenting The 4-Legged Children

Yes, even our dogs think they're princesses (Thanks Mimzy!). Sarah loves being a ballerina princess. And obviously, Duncan thinks Jasmine is the best princess around.

We do not condone harming pets in any way!!!! (But doesn't she look cute in a tutu?!?!?!)
