Christmas 2010

Brooklynn's First Christmas- Handmade ornament.

Nate and I have always had a busy couple of days when Christmas roles around. We spend Christmas Eve with Nate's family and Christmas with mine. This year it was even more busy with more stops than usual. 

We took our princess to Christmas Eve service at Copper Hills then we went to Grandma Cathy's house for  dinner and gift exchange with Nate's extended family. 

Brooklynn was a trooper through church and then all through dinner she got passed around. By the time we got to present she was done. Too much stimulation. Mommy had to hold her or she was very upset. When our Christmas eve picture was taken, she was ready to go home!

Christmas Day we woke up and did Christmas the three of us. Brooklynn got her Bumbo seat from Santa and a bunch of clothes. Mommy got Tiffany's earrings, a jogging stroller and clothes. Daddy got a sound system and clothes. We all did great! We started really early because Brooklynn was done eating around 6. So we were done with our Christmas by 7.

Then we got ready and headed to Grandma Cathy's house again to watch the boys open and exchange with her. We only spend about and hour or two there usually. After that we ran by Chuck and Renee's to meet Nicole. 

After Christmas with Grandma Cathy we headed to my parents house. We opened present with them and mommy got a new camera lens to take lots of pictures with Brooklynn. Daddy got an iPad. Brooklynn got lots of clothes and toys. We are so spoiled!

Look how close she is to rolling over.

 After Christmas with my parents we headed down to Mesa for Christmas dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins. We had a wonderful day. This means we hit up 5 houses in one day! We were all tired by the end of the day. 


Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
