Christmas 2009

We had such a great time spending Christmas with the Cromwell's this year. We all gathered on Christmas Eve and had a wonderful Steak dinner, a Christmas Eve program and our Special Delivery from Santa! (Our Christmas Pj's) The next morning came early and the kids were excited to see what Santa had brought them this year. Julia was shy as she crept the stairs and into the living room. I don't think she quite knew what to make of all of it. But once she realized she could actually open the presents she was ready to go. Like any 2 yr old, she wanted to play with everything she opened instead of opening the rest of her gifts. Our stay was short but well enjoyed. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by Family!! Julia loved playing with all her cousins....she kept saying to me "play with friends, mommy, play with friends."
A few days later we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Mott's to finish the Christmas celebration. The second go around Julia was ready for the gifts and tore right into them. It was exciting to see her light up each time she opened a gift! Thanks to both sets of Grandparents for making Christmas so magical for Julia. We enjoyed every minute of it!!
