Merry Christmas!!!

Have we mentioned how much we LOVE Christmas?!? So sad that it is over:( BUT...we had a WONDERFUL Christmas filled with lots of family time and loving memories. Abigail was such a joy to watch this year. She REALLY got into it! She was SOOO excited!! Abigail is at such a fun age. She definitely understands most of what is going on. She was SO excited!

"Merry Christmas!!!"

Colin, Abigail and I had our special family time in the morning where we snuggled (our favorite!) and then we went down stairs to open our presents! Yay! Abigail loved opening the presents, whether they were for her or not. Her favorite gifts involved candy. Like mother, like daughter! Daddy brought us some delicious chocolates from Paris. Abigail could have easily eaten the whole box! Mind you, it was only 8:30 in the morning! Thankfully, Mommy salvaged her truffles by giving Abigail her stocking which contained peanut butter M&Ms....one of her favorites! Breakfast of champions!!!

Auntie Susan gave Abigail a HUGE bag of the individual packs of M&Ms. Boy does she know our daughter! You should have seen Abigail's face when she opened them! She was in love!!!:-)

Abigail loved every gift we gave her. She wanted to "open it" and play with everything, which is such a fun feeling that your child likes what you picked for them. From us, Abigail received a Play Doh kit, a basketball hoop and a bike. Her first bike!!! Eeekkkk....our "baby" is growing up too fast!!!

Luckily we found a helmet that fits our big brained child:-)

We are planning on show this picture to the Tennessee recruiters one day:-) Abigail's first dunk!

Such a big girl!!!

Later in the morning, Nana, G-dad, Auntie Anna, Uncle Kyle and Justin (Auntie Anna's brother) came over to wish us a Merry Christmas. Yay!!! We were all SO excited!!  How fun to celebrate with family!! Abigail loved having so many fun people to play with and we, of course, loved being able to spend time with everyone.:-)

Opening presents with Nana:-)

"Thank you, Auntie Anna and Uncle Kyle!!!"

This photo shoot is HILARIOUS!! Auntie Anna asked Abigail if she wanted to take a picture with her so she turned the camera view on her phone to be facing them. Abigail just LOVED it! Every time we take a picture or video of her, she IMMEDIATELY wants to see it. She'll sit there and laugh at herself hysterically! So seeing herself on camera in real time...she thought it was the best thing ever!

How cute are they?!?

Awwwww!!!!

So those were the views from where we were sitting. Just wait and see the pictures from Auntie Anna's camera!! They are just the cutest!!!!

 These two are too much:-)

Giving Uncle Kyle some snuggles:)

Having a blast with G-dad and Nana!

 Abigail put on her helmet and asked to go for a ride. Safety first:-)

We had such a wonderful Christmas! To watch the magic and spirit of Christmas through your child’s eyes is just truly incredible. Colin and I feel so blessed in so many ways. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!
