Christmas Celebration 2012

Evelyn had a special first Christmas with both sets of grandparents here in Nashville to celebrate, but first she had to get a cold and give it to Mommy and Daddy. The two of us had sinus infections while the grandparents got to party and live it up!

                                                   Someone has the sniffles...


Opening her first present from Aunt Patty...her first ornament!                                                                          
                                     

                                              Playing with her bacon box from Costco.


Practicing her standing to impress the grandparents.

Santa came and left lots of presents! 


Grandma and Grandpa flew in from California late on Christmas Eve.  They got to share in our traditional morning mimosa toast.  We got the jumbo size Roget and it was all gone thanks to Grammy and Grandma!



Our deluxe breakfast! 


It takes two Grandmas sometimes to feed Evelyn!

Opening our gifts... 






Evelyn got the same record player that I had as a baby from Grammy.

Evelyn got really cute outfits, tights and head bands from Grandma. 


I made everyone stay in their jammies for presents. 


Evelyn seemed to love the wrapping paper more than the gifts. 


Playing peek-a-boo with the paper.

We ate lots of yummy snacks for lunch.

The next day was more resting and shopping and eating.  Evelyn finally tries her snacks for the first time with the help of Grammy.

Always trying to get away!  It was a special Christmas for everyone!
