Christmas Pictures

Sorry for the delay in blogging. I wish I had some grand excuse, like I'm jet-lagged from traveling the world....or because the President needed my help with some concerns of national importance. Alas, that is not the case. My lame excuse has been nausea. Enough said.

Christmas this year was the most fun, and we spent an entire week in Longview. How magical it was to view Christmas through the eyes of a 2 1/2 year old too!! There's nothing quite like it. Instead of writing a lot about our holiday, I thought I'd just give you a photo essay. I hope you and yours had a wonderful time this Christmas as well!

Abby with The Big Guy!
Our little Christmas angel

Roo and me on Christmas Eve. We had two days of present opening!

She loved her Talking Elmo from BeBe and Pops. Luckily it comes with an On/Off switch! :)

LOOOOOOOve her expression when she opened her gifts. She made this face every time. It was like every present was her favorite. Too cute!

A Cinderella Barbie! Yay!

Showing off her Dress-Up clothes. Cinderella holding Cinderella. There's no such thing as overload when you're two, right??

The Princess and me

Is it obvious she thinks she's a real princess?! Abby with her Baboo!!

Abby and her Nana. They have too much fun together! (Side note: We are SO blessed to have such wonderful families who love one another....so much, in fact, that we celebrate holidays all together, as one big happy family!)

There's that crazy Elmo again!

Here's Abby with her BeBe and Pops before Christmas. Abby playing Barbies with her Papa. Papa Rick, what are you doing to that Barbie doll?! :)

Here's her Cousin Clark checking out Abby's Barbie Cinderella. Too funny of a picture not to share! :)

How cute is this little guy?!

And the best present of all? Snow when we came back home! Here's little Roo experiencing her first snowfall of the year!

And here's one last picture taken today when Clark came over. I know I'm biased, but I think they're super cute cousins!!! :)

There's so much to write about how great our Christmas was, but Abby needs a nap (and perhaps her Mama too!), so that will have to wait for another time. Matt and I were blessed with a wonderful 2009, and we're excited about what 2010 has to offer. It's hard to imagine that next Christmas, we'll have another peanut around! Wow! Here's to a very happy and blessed 2010! :)
