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!

Bath Fun!

Gabbie's latest game for the bath!

After Christmas Fun!


Eating breakfast with a portion of the cousin gang, Paige, Jake & Kelsey!

Gabbie also loved playing with her cousins!!! My sister Amy and her kids, Jake & Paige came down from Idaho after Christmas. I absolutely love watching Gabbie play with her cousins.

Hanging on the couch with Paige!

Check out that cheeser on Gabbie! This pic cracks me up!

Paige reading to Gabbie.

Daddy and Makenna getting in on the action.

Check out the skills Gabbie learned while at Grandma Dianne and Papa Chucks this Christmas. I have to say I was impressed that she mastered the stairs so quickly!


And some random fun and cuteness!

Early Christmas with Grandpa Larry!

We headed to Utah for Christmas again this year. But we had to have an early Christmas with Grandpa Larry! So the Sunday before Christmas, we had an early celebration.

Gabbie quickly realized she loves opening presents...

and eating the paper that accompanies it!

She even helped Grandpa Larry open his!

And she sure loved the Minnie Mouse that she got from Grandpa Larry! She LOVES Minnie and Mickey Mouse... but even more, she loves her Grandpa Larry, who is so very good to her!


And what early Christmas would be complete without some entertainment from Dallas? He liked the ribbons too, once he was able to get 'em!
