First Christmas Gatherings

Well, it is FINALLY Christmas, well, almost! :) It does not feel at all like Christmas yet, because the weather has been so nice! It's just odd! Your daddy and I joke that it will probably snow on my birthday (in April) since the weather has been so nice into December! But we are finally getting close to Christmas. One amazing thing about Christmas coming, is Christmas break! We get a full 12 days together!!! :) I just can't wait! Granted, we spend 7 of those days with our family so I have to share you, but hopefully that will give me time to work on your scrapbook some more.

So, let's get on to the Christmas part of this post! You opened your very first present ever from Brayden, your boyfriend! We saw them on Friday after the GEC staff party. You and Brayden swapped gifts for each other! :) You weren't too sure about tearing in to your paper, but Brayden acted like a pro and he thought he'd help you too, once he realized you still hadn't opened yours!

You both are so cute! Just checking each other out! :)  


I had to share this next photo! I took so many great photos of the two of you at the GEC Staff Party, but this one makes me laugh so hard! You look all innocent, but in reality you had hit Brayden, stolen his pacifier, flapped your arms crazily and smaked him multiple times, etc. I mean you were just very excited and Brayden had finally had enough!! haha, I just love both of your expressions! I can see us all still getting together when the two of you are sixteen! Who knows, maybe you and Brayden will be best friends!


After our gift exchange with Brayden we went to Iola for family Christmas with the Higginbotham side. We had a Christmas brunch on Saturday at Cousin Cindy's house. Everyone was very excited to see you again.


You really got in to opening your presents at this Christmas! Look at you go!

Here you are showing off your dancing skills as you dance to the Hippo! Everyone loved your dance moves!

You loved your present from Great Grandpa Jimmie! The balls bounce on that little trampoline!


After our Christmas Brunch we headed to Buhler because we had Family Christmas with the Regehr family. So we went to Buhler then on Sunday after church we headed to Uncle Galen's for Christmas.We had a lovely time again.

You got this puppy that barks tunes from Grandma-Great and Grandpa-Great. You loved it!

But you weren't too sure about Abbie's head massager! ;)

We left Christmas at 4:00 and went straight to the Wal-Mart in Ottawa to shop with our Bible study for our adopt-a-family. Then we went to the church to wrap the gifts, and then it was home to bed!

We for sure had a crazy weekend! But definetly a wonderful weekend! You are such a great baby, despite all the crazy schedules you did amazing! You only got super-super tired twice! So that's good!! :) I can't wait for Christmas day to open more presents with you!!

Love you little girl,
Mommy
