Christmas

Santa Brought Lexi a Tinkerbell kitchen
As you can see she just loves her kitchen



Digging out the presents

Lexi would not hold still for a picture with my dad. This was the best I could get.

Santa knows how much Lexi loves the vacuum so he brought her a princess one. Grandpa Martin said that Santa will be the last man to ever give Lexi a vacuum.

This Christmas was an interesting one. We started at my moms house on Christmas Eve and ate dinner and opened presents with all of the siblings (minus Stan who is on his mission in DC). All the grand kids were excited to get their presents from grandma and grandpa who by the way did an excellent job at picking out presents that each child would love. Carter got Geo Tracks and he was so excited, Ava got a cute piano and so did Addi. Lexi got the full Cinderella out fit to play dress up. Lexi was so hyper all night until about 9 when she started throwing up. We had to cancel plans to go over to Michelle's and take her home and get her in bed. The next morning we went in her room to get her up and show her what Santa had brought but there was an unusual smell in her room. She had spit (as she calls it) again in her crib. So before opening presents we had to get her into the tub and all cleaned up. Once we got down stairs and opened presents she was so excited. My dad was able to come down and see her open all of her presents from Santa and he brought her some great toys as well. He gave her a baby doll that she just loves. My dad left and went up to Tara's house while Brody began shoveling the driveway. He did not have enough time to finish so he just shoved a path for me and Lexi out to the truck so we could get over to Mike and Michelle's. We got some great presents from them to go with our camp trailer. We got a camp chief and just about everything we will need for the inside. Lexi got a cute little tykes digital camera. We then headed to Georgia and Dude's (Brody's grandpa Mike and grandma Georgia) house for breakfast. Georgia makes the best biscuits and gravy! When we left there we went to Ray and Bonnie's (Michelle's parents) house for dinner. After that we went home and went to sleep because both Brody and I had to work in the morning. It was a great Christmas and Lexi is still singing Santa Claus is coming to town. We are excited for next year!
