Its Christmas!

Wow, its been a busy busy few days! I wasnt able to come online at all to update your blog so I will try my best to remember all the way back to update.

It all began on the 23rd when we drove up to Squamish and had Christmas celebrations there. We left the house around 1 pm and you slept most of the way up there with your sister and brother in the backseat with you. We got to grandma and grandpa's house and you visited with everyone for awhile before you zonked out again. Auntie, Uncles and cousins showed up and we had a nice dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. Of course you didnt get to eat anything which sucked, but there is always next year.

Daddy got a good picture of you opening your very first Christmas present which you received from your grandparents. It was an Elmo live stuffie that talks and dances. You LOVED it! The look on your face was priceless. You opened other gifts as well as the night progressed and your sister and other family members helped you. You did pretty good actually as long as someone started to open the paper you grabbed it and stuck it in your mouth. You like paper haha.

We stayed the night there and the next day drove back to Surrey where more relatives showed up and cuddled with you. You were so happy to be home though as you do like to be here in your swing and bed. We put your jumperoo away because its so big and we needed the room for your sister's present which was a Wii. You do like to watch the game and find it facinating.

You looked so cute all dressed up in your fancy Christmas clothes Carly and other than being a bit cranky because mommy wasnt paying you a ton of attention like you are used to. Mommy was busy making dinner etc for our guests though and daddy helped by holding you and playing with you.

I would say your favorite presents right now are the Jumperoo and the piano. You are getting really good at jumping in the roo and smile very happily when you make music on the piano. Another new thing you do now is blow raspberries at everyone. Spit seriously gets everywhere, but you love this new game! Too funny.
