1st Christmas

Stella's 1st Christmas was exactly what we expected, FUN! We have been busy for the past several days celebrating with all of our family. Christmas Eve, we ate breakfast with Stephen's family and opened gifts. That evening we went to Reelfoot Lake for dinner with Granny and Granddaddy. Christmas morning we woke up to gifts at our house, breakfast and play time at Nene and E's, and went to see Papa and Nana later that afternoon. Sunday, we made the trip to Missouri to see everyone and had a great day at Mamaw and Papaw's house. Tonight, we get to celebrate once more. If you are counting along with me, that will make seven celebrations. Mommy and Daddy are tired!

Check out my awesome Christmas jammies from Nene and E.



Yes, that's a gingerbread rock band. We finally got her in the bed around 10 PM Christmas Eve.




This is what the milk and cookies looked like after Santa came and left his note for Stella. (before Layla jumped on the coffee table and ate the rest)



Santa's surprises.




Is this all for me?



OK, first things first. A girl has got to eat.



We made it to Nene and E's house for more gifts and breakfast. Stella got a shiny, red piano and Aunt Sis calls this her Jerry Lee Lewis stance.

Yum, candy cane.

We still haven't finished decorating and unpacking, but you can see that there are now plenty of toys to keep her entertained.



We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, too!
