Christmas 2011: Rounds 1 and 2

Round 1: Christmas with Memommy & Grandaddy Don


We kicked off Christmas celebrations with Christmas at Memommy and Grandaddy Don's house in Mobile.

Eileen was fascinated with the berry wreath.  Grandaddy Don was nice enough to hold Eileen up to play with it.

 Family picture (minus Uncle Thomas- he had to work.  Boo!)

On the front porch with Daddy Dave:

 Opening presents with the help of Mumsie and Memommy.  I'm not sure Eileen was opening her present, but she was opening something!

 Showing off her new Christmas bath toys.  She is SO proud of them.

 Eileen opening mommy's present:

 It was a wonderful time, and Eileen got the hang of the whole opening presents thing.

We ended the day by letting Eileen play with her new Christmas bath toys!

 Round 2: Christmas at Chichi & Deda's


On Sunday, we had Christmas at Chichi and Deda's with Uncle Hines & Aunt Lisa and all of the cousins.

Eileen and Daddy Dave before church on Sunday.  She wore her bow for the entire 10 seconds it took to snap her picture.

 After church, Eileen changed into some causal clothes and watched Yo Gabba Gabba.

 When we got to Chichi & Deda's, Eileen had a blast playing with Adam and Eli and Hudson before we ate...

They built a tower from the blocks

And Eileen knocked it over.  With glee!

...and opening presents after supper.  Eileen ran back and forth after Adam and Eli as they handed out presents.

Trying to keep up with Adam and Eli

Opening her camera from Aunt Lisa & Uncle Hines.  Aunt Lisa got her a REAL camera because Eileen will have nothing to do with the toy cameras because they don't have LCD screens on the back.

Eileen clapping for herself

A tired little girl resting on her cousin Kendall

Eileen is loving all of her new presents from everyone, and she seems to really, really like Christmas.  Merry Christmas!!!
