To start off Christmas, we took some pictures for our Christmas card :)
Then we had to go visit Santa, of course!
Our first Christmas celebration was at my grandparents' (my Mom's parents') farm just outside of Wichita Falls. We all met up there the weekend before Christmas.
Hanging out with Daddy waiting for Christmas dinner
Passed out with Mommy!
Sleeping through the first part of Christmas dinner...
...but woke up ready for her dinner half way through!
All the bows from her presents! She slept through all of her presents being opened.
Finally got a picture with Great Aunt Lisa! And Emma is modeling her Christmas PJ's!
Falling asleep in Grandmommy's lap.
December 24th: Christmas Eve!
We spent Christmas Eve afternoon at my parents' house helping cook for the party that evening. I was the chocolate covered strawberry & grape dipper. :) Then we went to the 5:00 PM Christmas Eve service at Pioneer Drive with Colton's Dad & Grandparents. It was over by 5:24 PM (it was their silent service, which is really short, we thought that'd be our best bed with Emma), and then we headed over to my parents for their Christmas Eve party. We had a lot of fun! Then after everyone left, we opened presents with my parents Will.
Emma at her first church service (the Christmas Eve service)...which she slept right through!
Then we went back over to Colton's Dad's house, where we were staying. I got Emma ready for bed & in her Christmas PJ's and we sat down in the rocking chair and read "The Night Before Christmas," "The Baby Jesus Christmas Story," and "The Nutcracker." While we were reading, Santa was busy in the other room putting together Emma's present! Emma Had fallen asleep by the time we'd finished reading, so I put her to bed, and went to help Santa finish up.
Here's what Santa brought her!
Her bouncer has buttons she can push that light up, play music, and say shapes & colors in English, French, & Spanish. Her "cell phone" does the same things. She's gonna be so smart :)
Raider, Sophie, & Chico's stockings from Santa!
We forgot to take pictures Christmas morning of Emma getting her Santa Gifts because we were so busy video taping. Woops! :(
December 25: Christmas Morning!
After we woke up, saw Emma's Santa presents, and had breakfast, we got ready and headed over to my parents' to see what Santa had left in our stockings over there.
Ready to roll!
Emma got a very cute froggy
Mickey's Christmas DVD
And a counting book
She was already so tired from playing with her Santa gifts all morning!
Christmas Day evening:
We went over to Colton's grandparents for dinner about 6:00 PM. We opened presents first.
Emma sitting in her Bumbo chair MiMi & Pops gave her the night before, with some of her presents around her at Grandma & Grandpa Gragg's!
After we had opened presents and eaten at Grandma & Grandpa Gragg's, we went back over to Gary's house to open presents with him & Colton's brothers.
Emma was very spoiled! The princess and all of her gifts (well, most were for her, I think a couple of those were actually mine & Colton's too)! :)
And that was Emma's first Christmas!
