Christmas Afternoon

Towards the end of Sesame Street, we received a call from my Mom that they were back home from spending Christmas morning with Madeline and Gabriel and they were ready for Charlotte to come over! We packed up the diaper bag and headed over for our next phase of Christmas. Our plan was to feed Charlotte lunch and have her nap at my parent's house so we'd get to spend more time over there.

This says it all...(plus, add "and Grandaddy") :)

Charlotte's shock, awe and happiness about ALL of her presents. I think she made this face every time she opened something, even when she couldn't see what it was yet.

Digging deep into her stocking.

My parents bought Charlotte the set of musical instruments that matched the drum we bought her. She had fun making music with everyone. (Notice Steve in the background working hard to put together one of the many toys Charlotte received)

Fixing a smoothie in her new blender

I think Charlotte had had enough excitement for one day, as she wandered into the dining room and laid down on the floor saying "night night"

But, she's never too tired for dessert! "Green, red, cookie!" she exclaimed as I put her cookie on her tray. Here she is inspecting the food...

Enjoying her cookie....with an interesting hairdo thanks to me having to clean ketchup out of her hair from dinner :)


After dessert it was time to call it a night. We wanted to get Charlotte in bed at her normal time because she had been up so late on Christmas Eve. We had a great afternoon at Nana and Grandaddy's house and enjoyed spending more time with Aunt Jacki too! Charlotte says thanks for all the awesome presents!!
