Christmas 2010

Pre-warning: This may be a really long post! I thought about breaking it all up but then thought that would take to much effort. HA!

Our celebrations started Christmas Eve morning. We went to my parents house to spend the morning with them. In fact, we all just woke up and stayed in our pajamas.

Jayci with her doll that looks like her. It has red hair, brown eyes, and it giggles. She loves it. Honestly, it is buckled up in the seat that is next to Jayci’s booster seat. She insisted!

My dad bought her the book, “The Night Before Christmas.” It is one of those that you can record your voice reading the book. We listened to it Christmas Eve night and she thought it was so neat that Papaw was reading.

Spencer, my sister’s dog, was a little sad he didn’t have any presents so he just went and laid on the paper. HA!

My future rock star!

After we opened presents at my dad’s we just hung out and got ready to go to my granddad's house. We always have a ton of family over there and it’s usually a lot of fun!

Jayci and P. They are only a month apart in age and love playing together. It is such fun to have cousins to grow up with. It makes family gatherings so much more fun. Or it did for me when I was younger anyway!

Silly faces

My sister Carrie putting together gingerbread house. That would eventually be wrecked by 2 little sets of hands.

The two sets of hands…

The finished product. They were so proud. On a side note. P has to be one of the funniest kids I know. Jayci pretty much refused to smile for the first few pictures so I told her to either smile or to move. Well  P was apparently getting tired of standing there with a smile on his face and was like “yeah, move!”  He really wasn’t trying to be mean but just be done with the picture. It was so funny. You never know what will come out of his mouth.

My Aunt Beth and Jayci

About our 20th attempt at a family picture because I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I think when I get sleepy it just gets harder and harder for them to stay open.

My sister, the newest cousin in our family, P’s little brother N, and Jayci

Showing off her new bracelet.

Papaw trying to show her how to work that toy. She had no idea what it was. I just remember loving them as a kid.

Okay well when I said it would all be in one post. I apparently lied. HA. I’m getting tired of typing so I will finish up our weekend in another post.
