Well, Christmas officially began for us this past Sunday when we had our get-together with my dad's mom and brother, 1 cousin and my parents. My aunt and other cousin couldn't make it because Kelsie broke her leg in a basketball game and was in quite a bit of pain, obviously not in the mood for a 4 hour drive to Denton.
Anyhowsers, my Granny cooked a delicious lunch and Hannah got to open her first Christmas presents! Even at just 7 months old she had no problem whatsoever getting the hang of ripping paper. One of the most exciting gifts she got (well, mainly exciting for me, the mama!) was her Rainforest Jumperoo! See photo below. We are already enjoying this immensely and I highly recommend it for you moms out there who do not have one. You can actually get one as soon as the baby can hold its head up well...we are just a little slow (and poor) so we had to wait until Christmas!
Hannah was in a great mood all day and enjoyed all her new toys. Tomorrow evening for Christmas Eve we are having dinner and presents with my parents. Yes, they were also present at Round 1 but we did not exchange presents with them at Granny's. We have always done presents with them on Christmas Eve and it is just a special time with them and us. I am looking forward to our traditional Christmas Eve mexican food! My contribution is homemade apple pie.
We will be travelling to Forney on Christmas Day and then up to Okie land the next day where we will be spending the night AND going to our friends' wedding in Duncan. Pray for safe travel with the baby...and my sanity.
Here are some pictures from Christmas at Granny's on Sunday!
