Christmas

We continued our many Christmas traditions this year and added a few new ones.  This year Spencer participated in her preschool's Christmas program.  The two year old class she is in performed in two songs.  The first one was jingle bells and she rang her little bell so well.  The second song was silent night and she was supposed to do sign language but she was sucking her thumb and then she saw me taping her and she started screaming for me!  But she was so cute!

We went to see Santa at Bass Pro again.  This time we wore our Christmas clothes.  But we had a happy baby picture and a screaming two-year-old picture.  Maybe next year we will have happy combined picture! She also had a Santa appearance at her preschool and it went about the same way!

We went to my grandmother's for Christmas.  On the road there we got word that my grandmother fell and broke her hip.  So my Aunt's party was canceled and we hope that next year we will see my grandmother at her house instead of in the hospital.  Despite a change of place, we still had a great time celebrating with her.  We partied at my other grandmother's and my mom's sister's house.  Lots of fun was shared.  I think someone in my family was sick for every party but we managed to see everyone!

 I love my girl's curls!! 

Her new favorite doll!

 This is pretty much how things go around our house.  Spencer plays with Grayson's toys when they are out and he looks on curious.  We think he is thinking-wow that looks like fun, wonder if I will ever get to play with it?  Here is a good matching Christmas eve pajama picture!

 My aunt's homemade Christmas tree.  When we got there the ornaments were spaced nicely apart.  When we left a blond headed elf had clumped the bottom rows together!

Spencer enjoyed opening lots of gifts this year-she helped open Grayson's gifts.  It went something like this: Spencer, whose gift is that?  Baby.  Then she would open it and look at it and if she liked it or thought she could play with it (that would be all the gifts but clothes) she would say: Mine!   The kids each had a Christmas tree in their rooms too!

We had a great time at Jason's parents house to but our visit was cut short due to illness.

Next year we hope more people will be well, not in the hospital, and that we continue spending time enjoying each other!
