Christmas Eve we went as a family to one of AJ's co-workers Christmas Eve party, it was a lot of fun, and Pumpkin enjoyed dancing to the music (with Mom and Dad, not with the other kids) and tolerated listening to Santa read 'Twas the night before Christmas' long enough for her to get a candy cane.
After the party, we went back home to see Paul and grandpa Jim who came down to spend Christmas with us. Lily was so excited when she heard Grandpa's voice, "OH! I hear Grandpa!!" Of course she tends to not acknowledge him when she's actually near her. Such a silly bug.
'Smiling' for Grandpa.
Showing Grandpa her baby doll. She's obsessed.
What his sister lacks in cheesy grins, this boy makes up tenfold!
We enjoyed spending Christmas here this year and had a great Christmas morning. Bug still doesn't quite grasp Christmas, but she does love opening presents, so she was not opposed. I had hoped to have a little Christmas with few gifts, but they were both spoiled by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and Daddy. Oh well, they're only little once.
Christmas morning with her baby doll.
The tree
*Almost* rolling around.
Even the Bub got into opening / eating the boxes.
She was such a good helper and passed out all of the gifts.
Her cousin Payton got her this drawing tablet, she was SO HAPPY when she saw it, and said, "OH! Payton!" She had tried unsuccessfully to take Payton's over Thanksgiving :)
And of course, the 3 Ericksen men enjoying their near beer.
