We had a very wonderful Christmas 2010. Caroline really had a very merry first Christmas, and the big kids were just beyond happy and excited. We had a jam packed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We went to Church at 4 On Christmas Eve with The Barrow Family, then went to The Barrow's house to celebrate PawPaw's birthday and Christmas.
Nana & Sweet C. Caroline did really well, but by the end of the night she was just tuckered out.
So many people LOVE this baby so very much.
Princess was so excited! She helped pass out the presents. Before dinner Nana let her open one present. It was the dress she is wearing in this pic, She took her Christmas dress off and sported her new dress. GIRLY.
Anytime you asked CB what she wanted for Christmas, she always said a baby doll. She was so happy to get a new baby to add to her 17 other ones. Who's counting?
Carolina got her first baby too. It has successfully been taken by CB.
A lot of fun. It was a little LOUD at times due to the excitement of Corbs and Claire.
This sweet bundle of cuteness was bursting with energy and happiness.
When you asked Corbin what he wanted he always would say"A ORANGE FOX PILLOW PET"... He was so excited!
Chris and I will be getting a new Sister in Law. Brian proposed to Mary last night. It was super sweet and adorable, and we are really excited for them!
This is a little out of order.. this one was at our hosue this morning when Carolina saw her ball pit.
The kiddos helping Paw Paw blow out his birthday candles! It was a very fun night. The kids were so wound up, and so excited about all their gifts! When we left it was late, and we thought for sure the kiddos would fall asleep. Instead they stayed awake to put out milk and cookies. They finally went to sleep after 11. We stayed up getting ready for Christmas morning...
Here we are bright and early this morning. The first thing Corbin wanted to do is to see if Santa drank his milk he left. It was adorable. He checked the cup Claire left, and the one he left.
Here is one of the gifts Chris got for me. I love it. It is very special.
Corbin with his new (SUPER LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS) gun.
Our sweet baby on her very first Christmas. All three wore these same Baby's First Christmas pajamas on their first Christmas. I will keep them forever and ever.
Claire on her new stylish princess bike.
Caroline got a whole little pet shop of those loud squeaky, barky, yappy, little animals you buy at the mall kiosk. She thinks they are great.
Tearing them open!
Could they look any more alike? Christmas Morning was very fun, the kids loved all their gifts Santa brought them. They are also very excited about the trampoline that Chris and I got them! I am pretty pumped about it too. After Christmas morning at home, the fun continued at my parents house for Christmas with my side of the family!
Here is my niece sweet June. In this picture the kids were all dancing to music on the new CD player Claire got. June ate the most ridiculous amount of cookies today. I caught her many times licking the icing on the cookies then nicely putting them back. Twice she was also licking the cranberry sauce. Good thing we are all family.
Me and my boy.
Uncle Brian and Mary got this coat and dress for CB for Christmas. She looked so sweet.
Creative Aunt Brittany made these for all the cousins. So cute!
Sophie was stylin. Celine bought these matching coats with matching shoes for all the nieces. SO adorable.
Beautiful.
Grammy and her special boy.
Joseph and Brittany with the babies. When they have kids they will be pros.
Sweet Shelby and Caroline. They will both be one in the next 2 weeks. Shelby was really taking steps today. So sweet.
My mom's house looked so pretty.
All the kids had a great time. We had a very wonderful two days with our families. We are very lucky to live close to both sides of the family so that we are able to celebrate the holidays with everyone. The kids are so worn out that they have been asleep since 7. Chris and I have been trying to organize all their new awesome things, so that when they wake up they can play with it all. The next few days will be fun watching them play with it all. Chris is starting the assembly of the trampoline. It has been busy, but fun.
Caroline has a tooth!! WOO HOO! Finally, in the last week her first little toother came through! The last two days she has also really been walking. She can walk across a room now, so sweet to watch. It is also a little funny since she is still so tiny. It almost doesn't look like she should be able to walk yet. She turns ONE on Wednesday! Such a sweet, sweet, baby girl.
Claire got her ears pierced! Sunday I took Claire to get it done. She has been asking for a while, and I finally took her. She was so brave, cried for a minute and then was so proud of them. She loves them, and they look really cute!
