Merry Little Christmas!!

Christmas was really good for us all- except for the fact that Nora had the stomach flu and it lasted for about 4 days which just happened to be the 23-26 so Christmas was a little yucky! Poor thing. She was feeling ok during the day for the most part so some pictures she looks ok in but nighttime was another story. No pictures so don't worry! That is why she looks a little pale and tired in a lot of these pictures!






She made Reindeer food at school and left it out for the reindeer to eat on the sidewalk while Santa dropped off the presents.










She baked cookies for daddy and I as a surprise and then we also shared them with Santa. She was so proud of her little cookies.






They were all this size. She had tons of fun. Thanks MeMe!!








She played Bingo with Grandma Kathy, one of her favorite games. The many other children are the great- grand kids on Tommy's mom side. This was not even all of them! Big families!!








Read some books with Grandpa Tom. Who do you think is enjoying the book more? :)









She played cards with her daddy and was prepared to ninja fight with anyone who tried to take daddy's money! Good thing too- he broke even!




And of course- presents, presents and more presents. She got so much from everyone this year. Here are a few highlights that she really loved:




A sweet little Angel necklace from daddy!









A chest hand made by Grandpa Tom which we are using for a dress up chest!








A guitar from MeMe and PaPa- thanks again by the way ;)









A vet set with a little puppy dog that she named "Vanilla" but calls "nilla" and is her new best friend!







And of course, tons of new Littlest Pet Shoppe Toys and play centers!!!!






We all had a wonderful Christmas, despite the sickness. Thanks to all of our family and friends who made our trip home so good. We love you all!
