The Rest of Our Christmas

I posted about Rounds One and Two of our Christmas Celebration back in December.  I had grand intentions of giving each of our SIX (yes, you read that correctly- SIX) Celebrations the same detailed treatment that I gave the first two.   However, I've procrastinated and it's almost a month later, so I'm going to just post pictures in one long post.



Christmas with Mumsie, Daddy Dave, Uncle Thomas, and Meredith
We had presents and breakfast with Mumsie and Daddy Dave on Christmas Eve morning.  Eileen received SO many presents from her grandparents (including a GyroBowl- those things are awesome) and a new Madame Alexander Huggums Doll.  Uncle Thomas gave her some books (she loves books) and Meredith gave her a backpack with her name on it.  She carries it everywhere.  I didn't take many pictures because my camera battery died.  Very poor planning on my part.

Overwhelmed by her presents!

After breakfast, Eileen had to take a bath and change clothes.  Most meals necessitate a clothes change these days.  Then we got in the Suburban and headed north to Tennessee.

Christmas with Mammaw, Aunt Patti & Uncle Tony, and Paige & Brett
We got to Tennessee for Christmas with Mammaw, Aunt Patti & Uncle Tony, and Paige and Brett.  We all had dinner at my parents' house, followed by present swap.  All of the adults draw names for the present swap.  But everyone wanted to get a gift for Eileen- she is so spoiled!
Playing with Pops before supper

 After supper, Eileen had to bathe (again) and change into her pajamas.

Mammaw gave her this ride-on zebra.  Eileen would rather pull it along behind her.
Paige and Brett gave Eileen this rocking horse.  She won't ride him.. but she loves to pet him and pull him around.  So funny!
SANTA!  And Christmas with Gram & Pops, Uncle Adam, and Aunt Amy
On Christmas morning, we got up and had Christmas with Gram and Pops.  Eileen was really spoiled by her grandparents.  However, to be honest, I think Gram had even more fun opening presents with Eileen and playing with her toys than Eileen did.

Uncle Adam got Eileen an Angry Birds pillow. She loves it!
Christmas with Papa & Sittie and the Wehbys
After the morning, we loaded up and drove to Nashville for Christmas at Papa and Sittie's.  Eileen was shy at first, but she warmed up and began showing off for the Wehbys.

 David and I gave Will & Quin (my godsons) light sabers for Christmas.  So entertaining!

Greg & Luke.  Luke made lamb biscuits. Yum!
Elizabeth & Eileen.  Eileen REALLY took to Elizabeth.  She followed her all over the house, all day long!

We had a wonderful, happy Christmas and enjoyed seeing so much family!
