Christmas Day at the Harms

Christmas mooring we headed over to my parents. We were so glad that Nickolas, Angela, and Nora were in town to celebrate with us. I hope that Angelas family doesn't mind that they are going to spend every Christmas with us (a girl can hope, right?), It just wouldn't be the same without them. Gray is downright obsessed with Nora. She asks where she is daily. I hate having to tell her that it will be awhile before she sees her again. I know that she is counting the days in her head...a 21 month old can do that, right?



Checking out her stocking gifts with a little help from Sophie
"humm...whats down there?"
You could barely see these two behind their mountain of gifts!
New Bitty Baby from Grammy and Oompah
Nora had not only her gifts from our family, but her dad, and Grandparents...she was opening way into the afternoon. :)
We waited to give her her new stroller until we got to my parents, we thought it would make more sense after she had gotten her new baby.
and she was off...
Nora also got a new doll. She loved that it looked just like her!
Angelas new ugg earmuffs!
Sassy girl
Nickolas in the new coat Angelas dad sent him...he's ready for working' the ranch!
"mom, why are you always taking my picture?"
Nora needed a bath and Gray decided to join in. They were seriously in there FOREVER!
Playing with Noras new stickers
Love
Sassy-pants again
I love, love, love Christmas time! Its all about family, giving and celebrating a wonderful holiday together. I cant wait for Christmas 2012! Only 313 days to go :)

Christmas Morning

Alright, time to get these final Christmas blogs done, sheesh, its past Valentines Day!

Christmas morning we couldn't wait for Gray to get up so we could see and share her excitement seeing what Santa had left her. She was in the best mood and was just so overwhelmed with all her fun new toys!

Santa came to town!
And he left lots of loot!
Happy, Happy Christmas girl!
This girls heart belongs to her daddy. She loves the weekends when daddy is there to get her when she wakes up.
She had to make sure that Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk!

"Wow..What is all this?!?!"

"Pony stickers, and a rocking pony? I must have been a really good girl!"
She just kept saying "Pony" over and over :)
New bath crayons. Check out our "morning-do"
Taking it all in
Checking out the stocking goodies
Bath goodies were kind of a theme this year. This girl loves her bath and will play in there forever.
New bath-band!
"look mom"
Trying out the new bath whistle
and drum
Then she had to move to her new rocking chair to drum
coloring my new placemat
"come on daddy" She wanted him to color too
The only gift I need under my tree is you little lady!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we headed over to the Sparkmans, as always, for dinner and present opening. It was so fun to see both Gray and Sylas old enough to understand the giving/getting part of Christmas this year. I know Christmas will always be so fun with those two so close in age, and they will always have their big brother/cousin there to help them out.

Watching Papa open his gift
"Oh this one's for me?"
Super Chase!
Gray helping Chase open another gift
Sylas wasn't felling his best, so he hung with daddy
Grays new hat and mittens! (I had told Barbara there was no way that Gray was going to wear mittens, she bought them anyway, and I ate my words)
Super Chase helping Baba
Trying to open gifts with mittens on...not an easy task!
Baba and Papa got Gray this great pink car and she loves it! Of course she had to have an awesome hat to go with.

Chase teaching Gray to drive, maybe he will be willing to help again in about 15 years :)
Of course driving gloves were also a must

As always we had the best Christmas Eve ever..looking forward to may more to come!
