Such a Merry Christmas!

We were happy this year to be able to spend Christmas with Kyle's side of the family in Washington.  We even stayed home for Thanksgiving to make sure we would have enough time to enjoy the holiday together.  We had so much fun watching Anabelle really enjoy Christmas and get excited about the Christmas trees and presents and fun activities!  She had recently discovered her surprised and excited face and loved to use it whenever possible so that just made her excitement that much more fun!
Yes there are a lot of pictures... Its Christmas:)
 Opening her pajamas from the elves with grandma and then wearing them over her fleece ones because they are bit too big. ha

 Going through stocking goodies with dad.
I love this girl! She is too funny and adorable in anything!

 First time bowling with us and she really loved it. She wanted to carry and push the ball all by herself. Of course we gave her a little help:)


 Grandma and Grandpa "enjoying" all of the baby toys inside their cool fort with Anabelle.

A packed car meant lots of fun for Anabelle!:) 
 And a gingerbread house competition!  She got to be the judge and Kyle tried to persuade her.  But in the end I think she was just pointing to what Grandma pointed to last! Sorry Ash and Brian. HAHA
 Thats ours with the red and green dots. Pretty sweet if you ask me!


 The only picture I have from Christmas Eve.  She was getting tired but we were still playing the magical christmas chimes and Grammy and Papa's. Ha

 Her first baby doll! She was really excited to see it and hold it and it was so sweet! We were so glad she was excited to have one. Then she dropped it and walked away.:) Thats about how long she is interested in it for now!

 Cute picture taken by grandma!
 Her "Perry" dolls from the mall with grandma. She picked them out and grandma couldn't resist because of the way she liked to carry them around like that by the nose:)
Of course like usual there was lots of yummy food and eating out and us siblings had a lot of fun together!!  We even left Anabelle to be put to bed by grandma and grandpa so we could go to a Christmas play.  It was not easy on me to say the least but she did great and we really do have fun together with our family and we had fun in downtown Seattle on our own!

Not only did we have fun in Seattle this year, but man were we spoiled.  It was even before Christmas came this year that I kept saying, I already feel so blessed with everything we have been given that I don't need anything more.  We were so lucky to see both grandparents this December and were grateful for the generosity that was given! As usual:)
