Christmas 2009

Finally, our Christmas Post! We headed to Utah this year for Christmas! First up was AVATAR on the Imax screen in 3D. Kiley and my nephew Sid had been waiting for this for a very long time! I did not want to go and Kiley literally made me go, taking me kicking and screaming. I LOVED IT! I highly recommend it to all!

Then we had the traditional Christmas Eve at my parents. It was a small gathering this year with just my sister Becky and her husband Joe, my brother Coray and his family, and Kiley, Gabbie and myself... and of course, my Mom and Dad.

We had a wonderful ham dinner and a fun Christmas Eve. Gabbie loved playing with her cousins! All of them are so good to her!

Time to open presents!
Can you tell Gabbie is teething? The tongue is a dead giveaway! If she is teething, it is always hanging out!

And because Gabbie was so good this year, Santa came!
Her favorite gift from Santa is the purple polka dotted chair! I swear she had climbed in and out of that thing no less than 1,000 times!

She also loved the dog she got from her cousin Anna. It goes everywhere with her! She now has to have her snug and her dog to go to sleep! ("Dog" can be seen in the lower left corner in addition to a number of other photos and videos.)
Gotta love that hair!


After opening Santa gifts, we headed up to Grandma Vicky and Grandpa Charles. Yes, the chair got to come too!

There we opened MORE presents! This girl is spoiled!

Here is some video from Christmas morning!

She is so cute! I can't believe she is going to be 1. Time flies.

Thanks for your comments on our blog it was a very scary ordeal. I don't think I wrapped my mind around how serious it was until we were finally able to come home. Can you imagine Crandall not being Crandall? I told Drew, what if something had happened that permanently changed his personality and he just wasn't the same kid anymore, that would be so heartbreaking. We are SOOOOOOOOO grateful that everything turned out okay. He is the light of my life and I don't know how I would have coped if something serious had happened. I would have felt so guilty and responsible. We definitely counted our blessings and are continuing to do so every day he improves. We love you guys so much, thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!
