Celebrating Christmas - Part 5 (Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave's House)

Thursday was a nice day.  We didn't have a lot that had to be done and it was a good pajama day to play with new toys and relax.  Friday was a great day!  After mommy worked we all went up to Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave's house.  We were all spending the night to celebrate Christmas.  Uncle Adam, Aunt Christy and Isaac all came up, too.  We had a very good dinner, we watched Hotel Transylvania and we played!!  I really enjoyed talking to Isaac.  He must really like me because he talked back!  The grown ups stayed up late, but me and Myla hit the sack about 10pm.  Another exciting thing was that me and Myla got to sleep in the office and I got to sleep on a blow up bed all by myself!
Saturday morning I couldn't stay in bed past 8am!  I was super excited to get the day started!  We all got up and had breakfast that Grandma Donna made.  It was wonderful!!  We had breakfast casseroles and cinnamon rolls and muffins!
After breakfast we got grandma's computer and got to see Aunt Emily on Skype!  She got to be a part of our Christmas even though she was in Texas.  We opened stockings that Santa had left when he stopped by on Christmas Eve.  Then we got to open presents.  We ate some lunch and everyone (except me and daddy) took a little nap.  Mommy and daddy had to leave about 5pm, but me and Myla got to stay another night with grandma and grandpa and Adam and Christy and Isaac.
We had a really great weekend.  It rounded out our Christmas celebrating and it was lots of fun.  It was good to not be rushed and just be able to play and visit with everyone.  We got to stay in our pajamas the whole time, too!  We don't get to do that very often!!
I hear the next couple of days will be lots of putting stuff away and figuring out where new toys go!  We tried on some new clothes today to make sure they fit, but I also hear we have a few more things to try on tomorrow!  Who knows what the week holds, but I am excited to find out!

Celebrating Christmas - Part 4 (Santa Came, Sorrell Christmas and Filler Christmas)

Today was another great Christmas celebration!  To start, Santa came!  He brought us the Doc McStuffins Check Up Center!  He also brought me a scooter (and that is exactly what I asked him for last week)!  He brought Myla an art station!  Myla didn't really want to get out of bed, but she was sure glad she did once she saw that we had presents and stockings!  Grandma and Pa came over to watch us open gifts.  Daddy made cinnamon rolls.  It was a great morning!
By 11am we were all pooped out!  We had played and played, so Myla got a little nap.  Before we knew it, we were heading for Aunt Debbie and Uncle Greg's house for the Sorrell Christmas.  It was a nice time to have everyone together (though we missed Aunt Emily and Uncle Tim).  Myla was a bit tired (and I was, but I would never admit it out loud), but we all had a good time being together.  Myla especially loved the dancing, singing Santa!  It was sure great to see Grandma Haz looking pretty and feeling pretty good!
This evening we went to Grandma Doris and Grandpa Max's house for the Filler Christmas.  It was so great to be able to see Evan and Levi again.  That makes 3 days in a row that we were able to see each other for a little bit!  We had some dinner and played.  Mommy and daddy got to look at some funny pictures of Pa when he was younger.  There was one picture of Grandma Dee that had us all laughing!!  Then they saw pictures of Grandpa Max when he was in the army.  Everyone seemed to really have a good time together!  Me and mommy and daddy and Myla all sang Christmas carols all the way home.  We've been doing that a lot the last few days and I really love it. 
Tonight we are all very tired.  It is a good tired because we realize how very blessed we are to have so much family to love and who loves us.  We are blessed to spend time remembering the birth of Jesus and to spend time thinking about how we've been given another holiday to give and get lots of hugs from family.  It is only 8:30pm, but we've all got pj's on and we are winding down...getting ready to lay our heads on pillows and stretch out.  I am just sure we will all have wonderful dreams about what a great day we've had.  Merry Christmas, Everyone!
