Christmas 2011

 Miss Audrey in her tutu, rain boots carrying her drum set at Christmas Eve celebration at my parents house. 

  Earlier this week ... yeah for Miss A not pulling the pigtails out of her hair.  She requests them often but then won't leave them in.

 Fortunately before Saturday's family Christmas celebration with my family Miss A took a good nap.  Something new when she is away from home but possibly she is getting comfortable with sleeping at  Mom-mom and Granddad's home.

  Goofing with baba while we are waiting for family to arrive.
  Audrey and her cousin Ben hugging before the gift exchange began. 

  Audrey loved the tutu, drum set and rain boots she received at this exchange.

She is also possibly the least shy member of this family

 One of my favorite pictures ... Uncle Tom re-tying her tutu with her "manket" on his shoulder.

 



 After the presents had been opened the basket riding started. 

  Miss A thoroughly enjoyed her cousin Mason (whom she calls "Ma Ma") pushing her around the living room and through my parents hallway.  She felt confident enough to ask him to slow down for people to applaud her riding in the basket.  Total ham.
 Sunday morning John and I woke up early to assemble this piano for Audrey from her grandparents.

  It is really a great size for her and she seems to really enjoy it even if it is meant for 3+ year old.  It will be a while before she tries to use the color codes and song book.



  Wearing the tutu for breakfast.


  Drawing after breakfast.  We believe she will be right handed.

  The Montessori style fabric numbers my sister's family gave her hanging in her bedroom.  We also have some suggestions of games to play using these numbers. 

 Re-assembling the piano at home.


 Audrey's Christmas dinner at home was spaghetti.

 While John and I had salmon, cream cheese, crackers and salami before we opened our presents in our stockings. 

  Miss Audrey discovered a new love of cream cheese.  This picture also shows how exhausted she was from this week of celebrating.  She went to bed early tonight as she was rubbing her eyes and putting her 2 fingers in her mouth immediately after dinner.
