Christmas at our house

Click here to watch Piper discover the big present Santa brought for her.

Christmas!

Sorry I've taken so long to post these pictures; Piper and I have been sick with the stomach virus. Thankfully, Josh hasn't caught it yet. We're still crossing our fingers that he stays well.

Our Christmas celebrations were a whirlwind of excitement and presents. Piper survived multiple days without good naps and being shuffled around from place to place so we could see all our family. Unfortunately, I forgot to get the pictures off my dad's camera. The ones from mine will have to do. I also have some videos to post when I have more time (and energy!).

Our celebrations began on the Thursday before Christmas with presents at my parents house with Corey and Brenden's families.

Grandad was still here from Florida!

Piper really liked Lyndie's toys. We spent a good deal of time trying to teach them how to share.

Christmas smiles!

One of the presents from my mom and dad is this little table and chairs. They even painted it to match her room!


Mom got these silly headbands for Piper and Gramps. We think they look best on him!
Christmas morning was full of lots of noise-making toys.

We love our Christmas pups!

We had another celebration with Pap on Christmas night.

Clapping with Gramps

Our final stop was with Josh's grandparents. By this time, Piper had figured out this whole presents thing.

Shhhhhhh.....Don't tell Piper that she actually saw Santa (aka Josh's grandfather) after Christmas this year.

Santa Baby

Christmas came early for Piper tonight. Santa knew that we would be traveling later this week and wouldn't have room to bring back all her loot with us, so he stopped by and left her presents. Don't worry, she'll still have her stocking gifts to open on Christmas day. Santa knew Piper loves smocked clothes and Scottie dogs :-).

Real Food!

As I alluded in my post yesterday, Piper is enjoying feeding herself more and more these days. Most meals I give her something to feed herself while I spoon feed the nutritional stuff. But tonight I decided to give her entire meal in solid form to see what she did with it. I had cooked a beef pot roast in the crock pot with onions, potatoes, and carrots. She seemed to like all of it, especially the meat.
This picture was taken at the end of the meal. I'm not exactly sure how much food she ate, but she sure moved it around!

Thanks to my good friend Christan for providing Piper with her first NFL gear. I can't get enough of this cutie patootie!
