Christmas Day! It was a rough night with the animals in our house. Beth did not want to sleep with Penguin - so the hamster was relocated to the dining room, which made Carl the cat a bit wild and adventurous. Cloey snored louder than Becky, and Nali the cat puked and pooped not in the litter box! This meant that I dint get much sleep, but the rest of the people in our house did, and Grandma and Poppy slept well at the hotel.
Christmas morning - the stockings and the tree.
Ally hung out on her top bunk with Beth and Cloey waiting until Grandma and Poppy arrived.
Ally so excited to go out in to the living room.
Of course Cloey opened her stocking first.
Ally decided she wanted to open her Advent calendar before her stocking or gifts.
$5.00 for the final day!
Soon in relative peace while Cloey was occupied with a chew bone, we started opening stockings.
Christmas really is all about the kids. Ally was great - so into opening gifts, and excited for everything,
Beth
Cloey soon tired of her rawhide and was all over grandma and poppy. So Becky put Cloey in her crate:
Lots of accessories and lip products this year - Ally got a head band, I got a scarf, I think everyone but Poppy got at least 2 lip balms.
I bid on this wreath at the Festival of Wreaths when we were on Nantucket for Thanksgiving. Ally kept asking if I won, but I kept changing the topic every time she asked. She was thrilled!
Santa did bring Ally a jewelry box, and lots of school supplies and chapsticks.
Ally's final gift was from Mommy and Mama. The gift bag was so big we joked it was big enough for Ally.
So she got in it!
She really is all I need for Christmas.
She was thrilled with some new A.merican G.irl doll things. As soon as gift opening was over she asked Grandma to play with her. They have been in Ally's room for hours!
The other big gift this year was a ring for Becky. Its hard to photograph jewelry, but I wanted to document it.
