Christmas 2011

It was a hot Christmas (a warm 83 degrees) but it was still a wonderful weekend.  Christmas Eve (Saturday) we had our traditional Christmas breakfast at my parents, spent most of the day at the Evers' with Uncle Evan, Aunt Melanie, Erin and Ryan (who came from Texas) and later that evening we went over to Uncle Jordan and Aunt Katie's house for dinner.

Christmas day (Sunday), Kate opened her gifts from Santa at our house and then we rushed off to church.  After church, we had lunch at my parents, opened gifts and spent the rest of the day at the Evers' house.  





 Kate's gifts from Santa and a couple of her friends and family.



 This was mommy and daddy's gift from Kate - a picture of baby Jesus.  Look closely at the manger and you will see her footprint.  I love it!

 Santa dropped off a couple of gifts for mommy and daddy too!  Thank you Santa and thank you Kayla for our beautiful photo book (pictures from Uncle Jordan and Katie's wedding). 
 Erin, Kate and Ryan

 Gaga (Justin's grandmother) and Aunt Linda came up late Sunday afternoon.  Kate adores Gaga and talks about her all the time.  She thinks Audrey's great-grandmother (who attends church with us and resembles Gaga) is Gaga and every time she sees Mrs. Reavis, she waves and says "Hi Gaga, Hi Gaga".  

 Kate with Nanny (my grandmother) and Gaga.  Not many little girls get to spend Christmas with two great-grandmothers (Nene, her other great-grandmother, was not able to come up but hopefully we can visit soon).  Kate is so blessed!
Aunt Melanie, Kate and Erin. Aunt Melanie and Erin are so creative and come up with the best gift ideas.  For Christmas, they gave Kate a vintage suitcase full of dress up costumes - what a perfect gift!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas too!  Merry Christmas!
