Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's

Later on Christmas Eve, we celebrated Christmas with just our family. Mom, dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Chad, his girlfriend, Jessica, and Halie were all there. I was glad Grandpa got to come home from the airport for a little bit to celebrate with us.

First, my cousin Halie gave us all some gifts.






My Uncle Chad and Jessica gave me some books. And a cool Nike outfit!





I love my Uncle Chad!




I got lots of new clothes. Mommy especially likes when I get clothes with matching bibs. Someday I might decide to stop drooling everywhere so people can see my outfits and not just my bibs.







My cool new hat from Grandma!



Sometimes I helped open. Most of the time, I just tried to eat the paper or play with my new toys. Mom was really happy because Daddy would open all my toys right then and throw away the boxes they came in. She didn't even have to ask him!







Grandma got Grandpa a really nice carved wooden photo album.



Mommy made Daddy a photobook of me and him. It's awesome!



Daddy got Mommy some Reeses Pieces. They didn't have any money for gifts for each other this year. I wonder why?



I got Grandpa a calendar with pictures of me in it.



A Mickey Mouse Rocker!



Halie got an electric guitar. I'm listening to her play.



At the end of all the gift opening, there was one present left. It was for me! I couldn't wait to open it!



My own Harley!






Oh wait, one more gift before Grandpa goes back to the airport. Grandpa always puts his gifts on his head and guesses what they are. He almost always gets it right!



After Grandpa left, Mommy just had to put me in my new Buzz Lightyear pajamas. Even though they were way too big!



Then I tried out my rocking Mickey.



Grandma made us all waffles for dinner. Yum!



Before Grandma made the waffles, Daddy had to go home and get some more bisquick and milk. He wore Grandpa's new robe because it was snowing out and really cold.

Nelson Family Christmas

On Christmas Eve at noon we had another Christmas celebration. This time with my Grandma's side of the family.

I was happy to see my Great Grandpa and Vivian.



My cousin Anna was so pretty in her dress. She did some twirling for us!




Me and my Daddy. Momma sure is lucky that she has such handsome boys in her family!



My Uncle John and his family.



My Uncle Chad and his family.



My Grandma with Mommy and Uncle Chad.



My Family.



Daddy got a bible for Christmas. I wanted to read it!



I remember Grandma buying those towels at the craft fair!



I got to open a present too. Here I am opening my first present ever!



I was way more interested in the bows though!





My cousin, Micah, entertained me during all the gift opening.





My favorite gift was my Texas Longhorns taggie blanket. I picked it out all by myself at the craft fair Mommy, Grandma, and I went to.



We really missed Grandpa during our celebration. He had to work because there was a bad snowstorm that day. We were hoping he would make it home for our celebration we were having later that night.

May Family Christmas Party

The weekend before Christmas, I went to the first of many Christmas celebrations. This one was with my Grandpa's family. It was at a Nature Center about an hour away from home.

I got to see a lot of my family that I don't see very often like my Aunt Lori and cousin Emily.




I especially loved hanging out with my cousin Susan! She played with me so much. She is so nice!



Grandma thought I should bring my bebe pod so I could sit on the table like the centerpiece.



My Uncle David did a magic show and he picked me to a be a helper. He made one hat turn into four different hats! Mommy will only post this picture though. She thinks she needs to start jogging again and lose some weight and the other pictures are not flattering.



After the magic tricks, Uncle David even did a ventriloquist act! My Uncle David is so cool!



My cousin, Halie, got up and sung a song that she wrote. I think she might be famous someday! She writes really good songs. I remember when she started writing this song. She was at our house and I had just been born!



My newest little cousin, Aiden, was there. She is so pretty! Her poor daddy hasn't even gotten to meet her yet. He joined the Navy and left just a few days before she was born. I'm sure she misses her daddy a lot.



Isn't my Grandma so pretty?



Here I am hanging out while everyone cleans up so we can leave.




After the Christmas party, we drove on to Ponca City, Oklahoma to look at Christmas lights. We went to a bunch of neat displays!



Momma thinks I look like a little elf in this picture with my ear sticking out!

Gingerbread House

Two days before Christmas, Mommy went out with her friends from college, Loni and Danielle. While they were out to eat, my cousin, Halie, came over and we made a gingerbread house. Well, I mostly supervised from the safety of my bebe pod.




It took her a long time, so I had to take a break and play with some of my toys.



Nice gingerbread house Halie! I love my cousin!
