A Christmas to Remember

This was a Christmas to remember for me and my family! I had a great time celebrating with the Vorreiter's, the Little's, and the Lindsay's. Here are a bunch of pictures from Christmas Eve, Christmas day and the week after.
We went to Christmas Eve services with my PaPa and GaGa and Aunt Rachel. Here I am sitting with PaPa to see the praise band. "SING IT AGAIN" I shouted out when they finished!
Making a joyful noise with the bell all the kids were given during Christmas carols.
All the children were invited up front to sing. I wanted to go, but I wasn't quite ready to stand up there by myself, so I dragged Daddy.

Waking up Christmas morning. My first glimpse of the train table Santa brought me!
Too busy playing to smile for a picture.
My very own Thomas!
And now Toby too!
My Dad helping me cross the bridge.
Later in the morning, the Little's came over. Here is my new blower from Aunt Rachel. I'm ready to help my dad in the Spring.
Crawling out of my new tent from GaGa and Papa.
The Vorreiter's and Lindsay's came over while I was napping.
My first snowman, originally named Frosty. (also out of order...see the building below!)
Auntie Em and Aunt Rachel (behind the lens) were the first to volunteer to take me out in the snow. Obviously, I don't have appropriate snow clothes, so we grabbed every parterned article of clothing I owned. Cute, huh?
Bringing in the reinforcements.
Baby, it's cold outside, but I loved the snow!
Mom and Grandma busy in the kitchen.
Auntie Em putting the finishing touches on the sweet potato cassarole.
The day after Christmas, my mom and I got out to enjoy the brisk winter air by taking a stroll in my new wagon from Grammy and Poppy.
Then we spent the day at Grammy and Poppy's house visiting with our family who had traveled all the way from OK to see us for Christmas. Here I am with Michael (Auntie Em's boyfriend), playing Mexican Trains.
Cousin Mardi not only gave me this cute new haircut, but she was so nice to play trucks with me ALL week long.
Great Aunt Lynnie and cousin Lauren. They are as fun as they look!
Poppy, Shawn, Lynnie and Lauren. I loved hanging out with them all week!
Here I am on New Year's Day (still in my Christmas PJ's) continuing to enjoy all my toys. Here is the rug and Hotwheels from Uncle Eddie and Aunt Mary. LOVE IT!
Can you tell I'm still loving my train table?
Well, this was an extra long post, but it was a busy week. I hope you all had as great of a Christmas as I did.
