44 Weeks...So this is what Christmas is all about

Boy, this Christmas thing sure is busy!!!  We started the week with Christmas with Nana Carol and Papa Ron's family at our house.  I didn't know what they wanted me to do with this present.  Ellie had to show me to rip the paper off.  I'm so confused because they usually take things away when I want to rip them.
We had a couple of days at home before the marathon began.  I was pretty tired from the first Christmas and slept in the car while Ellie got to go in the library.  Then we tried to visit Mr. Kenny but he wasn't home so we visited our old neighbor Stan.
On Christmas Eve, we traveled to Washington.  We first went to Great-Grandma Rose's.  I think she really enjoyed our visit.  Then we went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's and had a big celebration there.  I was pretty tired and slept during the first part of the gift opening.  It was fun to watch everyone and play after I woke up.  We drove back to Columbia that night so Santa could visit us.
Ellie was waiting for me to wake up Christmas morning so we could open our presents.  I was allowed in the Christmas tree room for that, so it must have been a big deal!  Santa brought me Violet and a ride-on elephant.  I was really more interested in Ellie's markers than anything else.  We left to go to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's for the rest of the day.  I struggled to nap there, but finally did.  Still not too interested in the presents.  We went over there the next day too because Aunt Michele, Uncle Roger, and Daniel were in town.
Man, I am exhausted!
44 Weeks




Sitting in a big chair playing with Legos!
 My first present-a first year ornament from Nana Carol!
 Oh look-I got a card I can eat!
It really is OK to rip this?
 I'm not so sure about this anymore, Uncle Duane!
 Playing with my new phone



 Mmmmm...broccoli!
Working on my fine motor skills
 Tickles from Daddy
 I love playing!
We got to touch Elmo the Elf on his last night because he left some pixie dust to get him back to the North Pole
 All those presents and I would rather play with laminated paper!
 This is making me sleepy!
 Grandma Kathy held me for a while so I could watch better
 Just hanging out with my Wubbanub
 Christmas baby!
 Playing the drums with Uncle Jeff
 I did like the puffs that I got
 Checking out the stuff under the tree on Christmas morning
 But I would rather play with Ellie's markers
 Or use the boxes to cruise
 I was excited to see this toy though
 And I got two more Wubbanubs!
 Reading my new book
 With Mommy on Christmas
 Checking out my popcorn popper with Nana Arden
 Catherine and I hung out quite a bit.
 It was so nice that I got to play outside on Christmas day without a coat!
 Sharing my toys with Ellie.  I loved the glow bracelet from the night before though.
 Sitting in my new chair
 But I really like to use it to cruise around
 But there are fun buttons to press!
 Hugging Ellie before bedtime
 Naked baby!
 So much sisterly love!
 Big girl!
 Happy to see Great-Grandma Rose (really, I was-I was just tired here!)
 What are those Papa Rodney?
 I played with Jonathan too-I kept handing him toys.
 Snuggling Nana Arden
Loving on Violet
Actually interested in a present
I really just wanted to use the presents for cruising and climbing!
There are many uses for this chair!
