Christmas!

 Christmas morning!

 

Adelaide's First Christmas! Opening her Christmas stocking!

 

 Everyone is playing with their gift from Santa.

Now it's time for more presents! 

Christmas Eve

Our little Elf on Christmas Eve! What a cutie she is!! Miranda took beautiful pictures, she is so talented.

 

  

 

The kids made cookies and decorated them for Santa as well as ourselves. 

 And all of a sudden I hear all this laughter and screaming! Uncle Eric was being bombarded with everyone jumping on him! Even Reese took part in the silliness! 

Lori went to Papa Murphy's to have them make a Snowman pizza for dinner. The kids loved it!

We had a Christmas Eve Program. Kirsten and Justin played the piano and Emily played a song on the guitar. Geoff did an amazing interpretive dance to "Angles We Have Heard on High," but unfortunately I didn't take a picture because I was singing while Eric played the piano.

The Nativity: 

Bryce-Joseph

 Kirsten-Mary

 Jon-Donkey 

Max, Camryn and Reese-Sheep

Adelaide-baby Jesus

Max wanted to be baby Jesus too! Haha

 

Camryn decided to be the Angel

 All the kiddos got to open a present. It had PJ's, hot chocolate and marshmallows, Charlie Brown Christmas movie and figurines.

 

Everyone in the theater room to watch Charlie Brown. 

Random

This year it was the Townsend's turn for Christmas and we had a BLAST! It was a lot louder than my family since we only have three cousins and Geoff's already has seven. Here is Kirsten (oldest cousin) and Adelaide (youngest cousin). 

The first thing we did when everyone was there is play some games. Bryce looks pretty good with Grandpa's glasses on. What a stud!

Grandma and Grandpa have an awesome boat room for all the grandchildren. All the adults were upstairs while they were mischievously playing. :-)

Pre-Christmas

We didn't have enough room to take our presents to Washington. We were able to open them before we left! Geoff always has to have a Santa hat and he liked the one that served two purposes... a hat and a scarf.

 

Who knows what Adelaide what thinking... or doing... haha

Adelaide opening her firts present ever!!

 

Gifts from Grandma Tuckett

 

Great Grandma Tuckett made her a beautiful blanket! 

 And gave her books!

Adelaide is 1 month!

Adelaide:

Sleeps 2-3 hours between feedings

Started to hold our fingers

Takes a bottle very well

Starting to like her pacifier

Loves car rides

Coos

LOVES her baths

Eyes are starting to turn gray

Doesn't like her bouncer

Sleeps better when people are holding her especially when laying on their chest

Barely fits newborn clothes

Newborn headbands are still too big

Can focus on faces

My mom brought out the dress I wore in my two week pictures. We waited until she was a month old and she is still small for it. I don't mind having a small baby, I absolutely love it! :-) And to think that her due date is this Wednesday, December the 12th. 

The end of a smile. We tried to catch it before she stopped.
