Christmas Part 1

We had our first of several Christmas celebrations today. Grammy, Poppa, Mamaw, Aunt Nae, Uncle Lattie, Jenni, and Uncle David were here to eat lunch and exchange gifts. Lucy had a great time visiting with everyone. She was especially excited to have the attention of her "Funcles." We had a great lunch and a great time visiting together. Lucy was a little overwhelmed during present time.. . she got so many wonderful things that she just didn't know what to do! Grammy and Poppa gave her some cute clothes, a snowman book, some play pots and pans, some fun food, and a baby doll in a stroller. Lucy enjoyed playing with her baby doll and took her all around the house this evening.

Aunt Nae gave Lucy some cute clothes, a talking tea set, and a play telephone. However, I think Lucy's favorite gift from Aunt Nae was the pajama pants that she bought for Michael. Lucy sat there in her car seat (Who knows why she decided to drag that out?) and wrapped up in the pajama pants all afternoon!

Mamaw gave Lucy some new pajamas which Lucy wrapped around her neck and walked around "wearing." Mamaw also gave her a musical radio which plays "Farmer in the Dell." Uncle Lattie gave her some play clothes and a talking cookie jar. Jennie gave her some fun new books. Uncle David gave her some play clothes, some fun food, and her favorite movie, "Shrek." (We have no idea why she loves this movie, but she will sit and watch it whenever it is on and laughs along with it. Anytime we need something to distract her or keep her occupied for a while, that movie always does the trick!)

Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time together. Lucy did well, despite the change in routine, the many people, and all the excitement. She only got fussy towards the end of the evening as people were leaving. Below is Lucy sitting on Poppa's lap, looking at the calendar she gave them.

It didn't take long after everyone left for Lucy to be ready to go to bed. She played with her fun food for a little while longer (Her favorite food is the ice cream!) and then she pushed her baby and stroller into her room. We got her pj's on, brushed her teeth, watched a little bit of Shrek and then Lucy was ready to go to bed. . . all by 7:00 PM!!


Hopefully Lucy will recover from all of today's excitement and be ready for round two of Christmas with Gramma, Pappy, Aunt Lauren, and Uncle Joe on Monday! :)
