Christmas Fun - Part 1!

Some pictures from our Holiday adventures!

Wednesday

We headed out of town, and Amelia was our valet, dragging around the suitcases:


She took a little nap in the car, covering herself with her coat:


And was grumpy when she woke up:


And then Mommy hopped in the back and we watched an Elmo video together on Amelia's new DVD player:


And then we got to Grandma Dona's house -- Amelia immediately started calling her "Namma".

She got comfortable quick, and started running around the house:


Grandma made some dinner, which Amelia slimed all over herself:


and then she went back to marching around the house:


The first picture I took with my new camera!


And a great picture of Daddy, too!


What I love most about this camera (so far), is that it shows my favorite 2 people's gorgeous blue eyes so well.

Happy girl:


Yay - she wants to give me a kiss!


Giving Daddy a kiss!


Playing with Namma's jingle bells!


A funny part of the evening -- Grandma's bathtub wasn't holding water for some reason, so Amelia was bathed in a plastic storage tub! :)


Thursday

Enjoying a yummy breakfast:


Wearing a jingle bell necklace as a headband:


Opening the first of her Michigan gifts:


Helping Mommy open her first gift -- a bag for the new camera!


Next, we headed to Lansing to Chris's step-brother's house, for the gathering with Grandpa's family.

Amelia LOVED cousin Emily's Dora doll!


Opening the stocking:


Amelia has 5 girl cousins all within about 4 years of her age, and 3 of them where there that day.

All the girls got these cute bunny slippers:


And then the mass chaos of the present opening. Amelia caught on quickly and started grabbing her presents like the other girls:


... but I think she liked the Dora wrapping paper the best!


Actually, her absolute favorite was a ball that came in her stocking and would light up when she threw it. This picture is mid-throw:


And she decided that climbing the stairs was a lot of fun!


and back down...



The girl cousins in their bunny slippers:


We got back to "Namma's" house, and Amelia was so sleepy from all the activity, she just stood there zoned out, right before we put her to bed. :)
