Christmas at HOME

This was the first time in 13 years of marriage that we were able to spend Christmas at home. Gran & Poppy came over and we had 4 days of fun. Daddy had a almost 2 weeks off work, so Livie had some serious “Daddy time”…..they both loved it!! •Shopping with Daddy •Surprise visit from Santa (Sunday night, 12/23) •Making cookies for Santa •Writing a note for Santa •Leaving carrots in the driveway for Rudolph •Hearing “jingle bells” outside her window •Waking up at 5:00 am to come to Mommy & Daddy’s bed….whispering “Mommy, I heard the jingle bells” as soon as she woke up. •Acting shy when she saw all the gifts •Going to the beach on Christmas day to look for shells •Opening gifts from Mommy & Daddy and Gran & Poppy later Christmas afternoon •Going to Gran & Poppy’s house with Daddy the day after Christmas (Daddy’s birthday) to spend a couple of days. (Mommy had to work)
