Brown Family: Christmas Day!

Christmas Day started with the girls not waking up til 830! I am sure this will be the last time this happens! It was tradition with David's family, that you wait patiently at the top of the stairs ( though the girl's room are downstairs, but we will keep this going, haha) then run down to see what Santa brought. Katelyn by passed all the toys and went straight to the plate where the cookies were. ( my child loves sweets!) All she could talk about was that Santa ate all the cookies and drank all the milk! She even called Ahma, who was working, and the first thing she told her about was all the cookies and milk being gone! Too cute! Finally we got her off the cookies being eaten and get her to go through her stocking and play with her new doll house, which she loves! Ahmpa, Gigi, Unlce Wes and Aunt Heather made it over to see what Santa brought too and eat breakfast with us. It was very nice this year to let Katelyn just play for awhile before we headed to our next place on Christmas, which was Gigi's!

Santa's spread, including Summer's new bed, which she loves!

Look!

Santa ate all the cookies! " Where are the cookies?" ( that is what she kept asking over and over again!)

What's in the stocking?

Love my new dollhouse

Calling Ahma to tell her about those cookies!

We arrived at Gigi's around 1130 to open presents with her, great Ahma, Aunt Cathy, Wes and Heather. Again Katelyn started out strong opening presents, but then she wanted to play and it took some persuading to get her to keep going. Thanks to everyone for all our wonderful gifts!

David wearing his dad's signate ring. A very special gift, that all of us became emotional about. Wes received his dad's wedding band which has he and lyn's wedding date engraved in it and this is the date Heather and Wes picked to get married on as well. We miss Grandpa Grady! The rings are a wonderful reminder of him.

Katelyn started entertaining us with her bib on and putting ornaments in them! So cute!

After Gigi's we head to David's Aunt Florine for some good home cooked food. It was delicious as always. I always feel so badly for going, eating, then leaving so quickly, but I truly think she enjoys watching everyone eat her wonderful food.

Next and last on the list for the day was to my dad's parents to have dinner and open presents for all the youngest cousins or great grand kids. This is absolute mayhem with the noise level and amounts of presents and paper flying around, but always a good time to see everyone. We found out this year a new little cousin will be arriving in July! Congrats to Amanda and Mark! We are so excited for yall! So next year another little baby will be joining this crazy time! Thanks to everyone again for all the girls presents, love all the clothes they received too!
