Emily's First Christmas

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I had a great first Christmas. It was a whirlwind holiday, spent at Grandma Lee's, then at home with Mommy n Daddy, then up to Papa and Rea's. Boy, are Mommy and Daddy pooped...but not me!!


Christmas at Grandma's



So here's our first celebration, with Uncle David, Aunt Jackie, and Cousin James. Here's Uncle David giving me much needed sustenance, so I can enjoy my gifts! Cousin James met me for the first time, and I really liked him. We had an early Christmas celebration at Grandma n Grandpa's since Uncle David and Aunt Jackie were visiting Aunt Jackie's family for the holidays.

Here's just one of my gifts from Uncle David and Aunt Jackie. I wasn't too sure of Mr. Bear at first, but everyone mades him sing to me, and that's ok!

A little bit of Christmas mayhem...ain't it grand?

Christmas at Home



Here's Mommy and me opening my first gifts--a Princess cell phone! I carry it everywhere with me and answer it a lot!

Hey, it's my first slide!

Uh oh, doesn't Mommy or Daddy have a better shot of me?

Christmas at Papa and Rea's



Next, it's off to The Villages to visit Papa and Rea. Mommy's parents came, too, and we had lots of fun! Way too much good food to eat--I had a little of Uncle Gino's Graham Cracker Pie and really liked it! But I ate my fruits and veggies, too. Here I am singing with Papa and my new keyboard! Papa taught me how to use the microphone and I sang into it!

Here's me with Rea at the table, surveying all the yummy food.

Here I am borrowing one of Rea's decorations.

Grandma and Grandpa had a great time, too!

Grandma and Rea having fun.

All in all, it was a really fun first Christmas!! Hope yours was wonderful, too!

Love,

Emily
