Christmas Eve 2011

Merry Christmas.....Love Madison.

If looks could kill......

We told her to look at her Christmas tree and all her presents and this is what we got. Hehehe.

WOW!!!

Me and my baby girl.

I love you Madison Rose!

Checking everything out at Grandma and Grandpas.

Playing us a little holiday tune.

"Hmmm....which one should I play now??"

Not sure what Maddie's facial expression is all about, but it's a family pic to say the least. LOL.

Our little Christmas angel.

Fun times with Grandma Jill.

Merry Christmas.

So happy that Great Granny was able to make it. She hadn't been feeling well the few days prior. Thanks to Uncle Kevin for wheeling her down. :-)

Sharing her candy canes with Santa.

Doing some redecorating. Maybe she will be a designer. LOL.

Mommy being silly!

She wanted the doll sooooo bad. Could hardly wait for Uncle Kevin to get it open.

Maddie's favorite gift....her Dora doll. Guess I thought she was in the picture too. :-)

Playing with Grandma and her sweet treats tower.

Fun times opening presents. What's inside??

We all got hats and gloves from Grandma Jill. Maddie insisted on wearing hers for most of the night.

She loves her little people school bus.

Checking out her new Dora books. She loves reading.

Apparently she thought that the school bus was a new seat. Too funny!

We celebrated Christmas Eve this year much like we traditionally do. Since I was supposed to work (thankfully I ended up getting put on call) we began the festivities a bit earlier on in the afternoon. We headed down to Grandma Jill and Grandpa Randy's house to join Uncle Kevin, Great Granny, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.

After enjoying everyone's company and tasty finger foods we enjoyed a Christmas dinner of ham, cheesy tater tot casserole, spinach salad, and rolls. Madison must have worked up quite the appetite with all the excitement of Christmas because she certainly seemed to enjoy her meal.

After dinner it was gifts galore....mostly for Madison of course. I think she found herself getting a bit overwhelmed with all the gift opening and new toys, etc, because mommy and daddy ended up opening a majority of her presents. She was such a spoiled little girl and ended up getting a radio flyer tricycle, an easel, 2 baby dolls, a dora doll, lots of adorable clothes, and a number of other toys.....and this is just for CHRISTMAS EVE! Good thing we recently dedicated a room in our house as a playroom just for her!
