Christmas 2010

Christmas is mostly a blur for me. Piper was born exactly two weeks before, and was our most precious and wonderful Christmas gift (except for the Original Christmas Gift of course). Grandmomma and Grandpa came up Christmas Day to help us celebrate (and help me recuperate). They brought along Grandmother Ruth who was visiting from NJ. It was an extra blessing to see my three kids snuggle and get to know their Great Grandmother a bit.

We had a nice day, and Brynna and Lane certainly did not go without, but having a newborn for the holidays, makes for a very tired mommy. I knew going into December that there were simply going to be things I would have to let go this year. I'll plan a perfect Christmas for my family another year!

Here are a few of the highlights from our crazy Christmas.

Chocolate muffins from HEB for breakfast. Yum!

Brynna's favorite gift this year was this super soft snuggly sweater.

Lane's favorite gift was this super cool train table that Grandpa made.

Grandpa and Piper. They match!

Another favorite gift was this plasma car from Santa.

Piper's favorite gift was this blanket that Great Grandmother Ruth made.

Cousin James came to visit the day after Christmas. Here he is holding his newest 1st cousin once removed. He looks like a natural, doesn't he?

We celebrated with Granna and Pop on New Year's Eve day.

Here is the train table getting some use. Lane like playing with his trains on it so much that he wasn't really interested in opening his other gifts.
