We had a great time together! My cousins were there and I was so happy because this is two times in one week that I've been able to see them! Uncle Tim and Aunt Cince were there from Kentucky, too! It was so great to have everybody together and I especially loved that Uncle Tim and Uncle Patrick could talk my mom into letting me have lots of brownies, cookies and juice boxes. Yep, we have got to get them together more often!!! We had a great lunch (I love ham) and we watched some Netflix (Levi picked a wonderful movie, Gnomeo and Juliet). And THEN we got to open presents!!!
Oh man, me and Myla are so very blessed!! We loved our new toys. Myla did a great job because she let me and Levi open her presents for her. She got some great stuff that makes noise AND she can put it in her mouth...her two favorite things!!
I tried to keep my great-uncles in line...but that is serious work! I am already learning that all THREE of them are a tad crazy. It is a good thing I am around to let them know how things REALLY ARE.
We stayed at Gran's as long as we could before going to get Myla a little nap. She was a trooper, but we knew she was very tired. So, we gave lots of hugs and said lots of thank you's and then came home for Myla to get a nap. She fell right to sleep and I played with some of my new toys AND I changed clothes because, while I LOVE to dress up and wear dresses, I LOATHE tights!! So I opted for some comfy pants before heading to Grandpa Joe's house!
Tonight we had another great celebration at Grandpa Joe and Grammy's house. The adults ate something called stir fry. I decided there were way too many veggies for my liking, but I ate a few things so I could have some birthday cake later (for Jesus' birthday)!! It was great to see Aunt Emily, Uncle Adam and Aunt Christy, as well as Grammy, Grandpa Joe and G.G. Mary. I always love spending time riding on the rocking horse when we go there...so I spent a lot of time doing just that!
Again, me and my sister opened MORE presents!! And, again, we realized just how blessed we are! There was lots of laughing and fun to be had. After everyone was finished opening presents, I decided to wear my new princess gloves. You won't believe it, but they are Super-Powered Gloves just like Super Heroes wear!!! I was running around using my powers all night!
We stayed at Grandpa Joe's house until it was time to come home and get ready for Santa!!! I told our elf, Snowflake, that I love him and that I hope he has fun playing with his friends at the North Pole this year. I told him that we'll see him next Christmas! Then I got the cookies I made for Santa out and some milk. Then we said our prayers and I was off to bed. AND BELIEVE ME, I AM NOT GETTING UP TONIGHT LIKE I USUALLY DO!!! Mommy said Santa doesn't stop at a house if the children are awake, so I am just going to close my eyes and start dreaming as soon as possible!!!
Yes, it was a wonderful Christmas Eve and I am so thankful for our family and the time we spent with everyone today! It was a super special day!!
