Christmas

We had a busy but very fun Christmas! Jillian was so fun to watch and she was very interested in opening gifts this year. We woke up Christmas Eve morning to find that Santa had visited us early as we requested.
After a quick breakfast and family picture pose, we opened all of our gifts.
Jillian got dishes and play food for her new...
Kitchen!

She also got a baby doll and some high-heeled shoes

Showing off her shoes
After a Christmas Eve lunch with just the 3 of us we headed to Hallettsville to start Christmas Day with the Henke family. Notice Bandit joined us for this family picture but he is kind of hiding.
We started the day with Mass in the metal building but Jillian had to play before everyone arrived. Needless to say she was not good at Mass because she was at Granny and Grandpa's house and wanted to play.
We left Hallettsville around 3:30 and headed back to Austin for Christmas with the Whited's. Here are all the Whited grandchildren and Christie of course.
We had a wonderful dinner and again opened gifts
Jillian got a little impatient while waiting for gifts and decided that I needed to take my boots off so that she could wear them. Here she is trying to pull them off. Needless to say she was not successful.
After the Whited Christmas it was back to Hallettsville again so that we could have Christmas with my family on Sunday. Since we did not go to church for Christmas Mass we had to pose for pictures before Mass on Sunday. Notice Jillian's baby has on the same dress as her
We had a wonderful lunch at mom and dad's and even Bandit got to have a big bone with ham on it. Granny and Grandpa must actually like him even though they say they don't!
Granny and Grandpa posed with all of their grandchildren
and Joshua read us a Christmas story.
Then it was on to presents!


Can you guess what Jillian's favorite thing to do was?



We should have known all those toys weren't needed - we just needed empty boxes to make her happy!
