Christmas Day!

Dee loved her plate that we made her also! She had one for Christmas so we thought we would make her one for Thanksgiving! I think we did a great job!


I love this part of Christmas the stockings! This year was a Hoot! Look at the size of these stockings!


My favorite picture of the day!

The live Elmo was a hit! Nana Jan and Papa John sent it to you! Thanks to you both!
Look at that DIMPLE! I could just eat it!

We couldn't get it out of the box fast enough!

Look at that grin! It is from ear to ear!



Your Daddy loved his plate that you and I made for him! He's A touch down daddy!

I love watching you open presents!

Uncle Lee got an even better gift his lost luggage from the Airport!

Santa brought me a new coat!

After the Lights

After the big light show we headed home for one of momy's santa cupcakes!
You didn't too much care for it. I was like that as a child too I guess that is one thing you get from me. These pictures are so cute! You were so tired!








Uncle John and The Christmas Lights!

We decided to take Uncle John and the rest of the family to see the lights! One of Dee's friends has a huge display and wanted us to stop by. We got out and you walked everywhere!



This Carousel was your favorite!!


You love your daddy!

I love this serious look.

There was so much to see!




Dee, Richard, and Uncle John!
