Christmas Fun 2011

Hazel, we had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We got to celebrate both Jesus and Daddy's birthdays! It was so fun to watch you explore both wrapped and unwrapped gifts! You did a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing. We still need to work a little on your gift opening face, but you sure did love the process of opening your gifts, and would say "tink-too" every time. It was pretty funny that you loved opening socks just as much as you loved opening big toys!! We spent the morning at our house, and then went over to Nana and Papa's and played and opened presents with them, Uncle Ty, Aunt Hannah, and Aunt Al. We even ate a really really yummy dinner to celebrate Daddy's birthday!

Such a wonderful time!
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy

Tree Hunting

Hazel,
We decided to find the perfect Christmas tree this weekend. We got all bundled up to go to our favorite little tree farm just down the street, only to drive by a completely empty piece of property. Turns out there were no trees there this year! We ventured on down the road a ways to find another little tree farm in someone's backyard! It was perfect for us. We walked around and you pointed to all the trees, stomped on some branches, and explored! Everything was great until we had to pack the tree in the car. It kind of cramped your style. You didn't exactly love the tree branches in your space!

 

We got the tree home and even got it decorated that same day. After crying the first few times you saw it in our house (pretty sure you thought we were going to put it in your crib or something), you loved looking at the pretty lights and ornaments. Every time you looked in the room you would say "ooh"! You'd even run in there just to check if it was still there, "mama, tree. oooh"! I have no explanation for the last picture. You found your sunglasses and the picnic blanket and wanted to sit with both! You are so silly and cute!

We love you silly girl!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
