Jolly Holiday Part 1

Since we were traveling to see my family for Christmas this year we decided to do things a bit differently…

Steven and I decided to open our gifts early so we could enjoy them and we especially wanted this little girl to get some quality playing time, so about three days before we left we got our Christmas from Utah!

Thomas was really excited just tired.  This boy is growing fast!

We opened our gifts from each other too but that will be for another post…

Off to my old KY home we went.

We were able to visit Grandpa Pete and Mawma.  I made sure to put Thomas in his new UK duds and I just happened to match.

Thomas was great! He let Pawpa hold him, feed him.  He kept saying how strong Thomas was, muscles!

Thomas even jabbered back to Grandpa, it was really neat to see him with his Great-Grandpa.

Christmas came!  What a joy to see Ella run to the tree to find her gifts and a special surprise.  One gift she asked for was left by Santa in Denver…thank goodness Santa sends email.  Steve was able to show her the Doll House she asked for under our tree back home!

Thomas got some sweet things from Santa too, perfect for giving messy kisses. IMG_7394IMG_7390IMG_7407
Ella got to decorate two trees, one for Thomas and one for her!
