Because Grandma Said So: Christmas 2011

Christmas was busy, but very fun! This year was a great age for Abby with Christmas! Christmas Eve was spent at Papa Maury and Grandma Kathy’s house. Abby spent the night looking at the sky for any kind of red light that she said was Santa. We read “The Night Before Christmas” and put out cookies for Santa and carrots for the Reindeer, and then all went to sleep. Grandma Bev and Grandpa Wayne stayed with us that night and Aunt Amy and Uncle Eric joined us early the next morning. It was surprising though that we were all up before the girls though. I heard Abby calling for Mommy so I went up to see what was going on. Abby was sitting in her bed almost in tears because she had to go to the bathroom so bad. She didn’t know it was morning and she was afraid to get out of bed because she thought Santa wasn’t going to come since she was awake! I let her know that Santa always waits for potty time! It was funny! Santa brought Abby and Savannah a play kitchen along with other toys. Both girls love the kitchen! Even Savannah plays with it as much as Abby does! We went over to Nana Barbara’s for brunch that morning and then went to Grandpa Dan’s for dinner. It was a great day spent with lots of family!

New years was mostly quiet. We went over to Nana’s for dinner and some of my cousins from Yuma, AZ joined us. We just made pasta and then went home. Of course none of us made it to midnight, but we didn’t mind!
