Merry Christmas!

Last year at Christmas I was saying " Next year Payton will be 9 months old already, I wonder what she will be like..." And here we are! She had such a great Christmas and was so much fun! We started the festivities on Christmas Eve at Church with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Mike and Nana, then we went to Nana and Papas house for dinner with the whole family and exchanged gifts with all of Daddy's cousins. We stayed pretty late, which made for a long night, then the next morning we opened gifts at home from Gramma and Grandpa James, from there we went to Nana and Papas again for more gifts, then to Nanee and Grandads In Casa Grande, then to Grandma and Grandpas for even more gift giving and dinner!

In church she was really good, her favorite thing to do at church is to stand up and look at the people who are sitting behind us and laugh and squeal at them. Of course whoever is there loves her! How can they not, she really hams it up!

While opening presents she liked playing with the ribbon,bows and boxes more than actually opening the gifts, along with all the bows and ribbon she got lots of toys and new big girl chair! I don't think she's loved enough.....

I know that I am always repeating myself when I say this but I cannot believe that this time has already come and gone. It was all that I expected and more. She is growing and learning more and more each day and we love to watch it all happen. This was a great first Christmas for Payton!

Good Morning! Merry Christmas
