A Lot of Christmases!

Now that I've officially had my "first Christmas", I finally see what the big deal is...it's AWESOME! I had a total of five Christmases and loved every single one of them. I was most excited about the wrapping paper on the outside of the box this year. Mommy and Daddy kept trying to get me to tear into it, but I was really just happy to shred the little pieces I had already torn off. I'll try to be a little more into it next year.

Last Saturday, we celebrated with my mommy's family...

Mommy's Family Christmas - 2008

On Christmas Eve, I got to celebrate with my Nana, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Mikey and Auntie Angie (and later we went to Matt, Rachel, Kennedy, Cade & Lucy's house)...

Then on Christmas Day, after celebrating at home we spent time with Daddy's family...

There are 6 kids in Daddy's family, plus spouses, plus my grandparents, plus 9 grandkids...a recipe for some MASS CHAOS. Here's a little taste of how things go around there on Christmas...

Side note for all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents on Daddy's side...here are some links to more videos, including the trampoline train that I can not WAIT to participate in the next year or so!

Now that Christmas is over, I'm sad to hear that the tree we cut down at Eckert's this year is going to be gone soon. I had so much fun looking at the lights and trying to touch the ornaments and branches. I hope they won't block me off from it next year!
