Christmas Day

We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year. We had a great Christmas, and it wasn't just because we got really great gifts. Sharing our holiday with others and being with family is a really great thing. This year we taught Hailey that getting presents is not the only reason behind Christmas, Christmas is about faith, family and giving back to others. In an attempt to teach Hailey about giving we bought some books and donated them back to our local libraries in her name. We cleaned our our clothes and toys and donated them to charities that can pass them on to others who could use them. We adopted two soldiers overseas and sent them goodies for the holidays. And Hailey got to make gifts to wrap and give to friends and family. We hope that these things can be something we do every year, possibly turn into traditions, and just become second nature to not only receive gifts but to give back to those who are both less fortunate and those who make it possible for us to live in this country and have the luxuries that we do. She's only two, so hopefully it will be something she always remembers doing.

Christmas morning, what a good day!

Waiting on mom and dad's bed so she can go out and see what Santa brought her

Can I go out yet???

WOW!!!

I'm so excited!

Hailey with all of her presents

waiting for all of the camera's to be ready for present opening

A camera, it's just what I just always wanted!

sitting with Papa while daddio video tapes

Backgammon--Trevor really wanted this and I surprised him

helping Nana open her presents

black jeans for Papa, pretty much a standard gift for him. We don't have a fireplace, so we bought a fireplace DVD last year to open presents in front of. Unfortunately, you can't burn all of your torn wrapping paper in a fake fireplace... *shrugs* oh well, we'll make it work anyway.

Mommy and Hailey--Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning

Nana & Papa got Hailey a cradle for Christmas, she really liked it.

Hailey got this really cool Little People Castle from our wonderful friends Chris and Traci. I really like this!

I see you!

Playing the castle with daddio. I think this was Hailey's favorite gift. She literally played with it all day Christmas Eve, Christmas, and only stopped playing with it today (the day after Christmas) so she could eat lunch and take a nap. Great gift!

Daddio picked out his own special gift for Hailey. A radio controlled car for Hailey, it's pink, of course.

She loves to run it into the walls and table. So fun!

Winning a Giant Dog

Waiting with daddio for the big prize

Meeting the big doggie for the first time

Sooooooo happy!

"Can I take this home with me???"

It's ALL mine! YAY!!!

Hailey's Big Doggie

My mom and dad entered Hailey's name into a raffle at our local Beall's to win this giant $300.00 stuffed dog. Only a month before hand my had purchased a little dog for Hailey at Beall's. Hailey named her Lady. This giant dog is the same as Lady, only 10 times bigger and dressed in teal instead of lavender. Hailey won the raffle and won this giant Lady. "Now I have two Yady's!" (L's are still too hard for her to say) I'll upload the pictures from my phone of her actually winning the dog later on.
