Christmas at Grandma's

December 20, 2009

We always get together with my mom's family on a day other than Christmas to celebrate. This year it was the 20th. My parents came, Chris and his girlfriend Kristin came too along with Cory. Ryleigh got this gorgeous dress for her birthday that is the perfect Christmas dress!

She decided to collect all the leaves in the yard and hand them one by one to Chris.

My cousins Samantha and Matt had fun entertaining Ryleigh with their phones with photos of dogs on them.

After dinner it was present time. Ryleigh got a new hat from Auntie Kim, and she put it on immediately!

She got a Little People Noah's Ark from her GG. She checked it out with Grandpa.

Turns out Nerf guns are a HUGE hit with the 20-25 year old crowd. We did a white elephant gift exchange for the kids and the guns were the gift to get constantly stolen. And we discovered the darts do stick to a baby. (No it was not SHOT at the baby!)

Great time getting together with everyone. It was really stressful in the hours leading up to "Christmas" because I had been sick for 3 days after we got back from Ohio, and I only started feeling well enough to leave the house on Saturday. So I had to make my family gifts the day before, and assemble them literally an hour before I left to go to my grandma's. But they turned out great! And it was a great night with family!
